One thing that I always find interesting about the old part of the city is the amount of small neighbourhood churches. Harrison Memorial Church at Cataraqui and Mercer is once such church.
The cornerstone on this building reads “Ontario Church of God in Christ – 1965”. It’s funny how the small neighbourhood churches are still filled by their communities, while the big traditional religions keep closing inner-city churches and leaving empty buildings up for sale.

There used to be 3 or 4 smaller churches in the Tec Rd to Lillian rd. area. Not sure how many are left but I find them a delight.
