Though I was very young at the time, I still have a faint memory of the church burning down, or more like hearing the sirens and everybody around me being upset about it...
There's some info on the old church on page 16 of the walking brochure linked above and more at St. Peter's website:

In 1882, a large piece of property was obtained on the corner of Maple Street and Crichton Avenue, and construction began on the second Saint Peter's. It was a large brick structure with two towers of uneven height. It was located on approximately the same location as the present church but it faced westward.
