Scheduled for demolition, the oldest church in Hamilton (circa 1882) has been rescued by Stanton Renaissance...
Kudos to Stanton Renaissance for saving JSB from that Santaguida fellow.

Perhaps this isn't the real issue at hand but that Baptist church is nowhere near the oldest one in the city. St Paul's, next door, was completed in the late 1850s, not to mention Christ's Church up the road being older as well. Use of the word 'rescued' is iffy as well. It's all semantics, I suppose.
