Excerpt from torontoplaques.com:
Designed by Toronto architects Strickland and Symons, this charming example of Gothic Revival church architecture was constructed for an Anglican congregation founded in 1874. Growing quickly after the 1884 annexation of Riverdale into the City of Toronto, the congregation moved to this site from its first church building (since demolished) at today's DeGrassi and Cumming Streets. The present St. Matthew's, which originally seated 600, is constructed of red brick - donated by 11 east-end brickmakers - and Credit Valley and Ohio stone. Its exterior is distinguished by a hexagonal tower that rises with a chimney from a square base, and by buttresses, pinnacles, and richly detailed brickwork. Inside the church, a long, narrow nave rises to a steeply pitched, open timber roof. The attached Church Hall was opened in 1907 on the site of the congregation's lawn bowling club, which has relocated to St. Matthew's Road.
