I was thinking about both of those when making my comment. The one on Robie was an early one in Halifax and did not turn out very well. The wall on Robie that was added to the front of the building masks some of the original design and looks rather unattractive. I believe the units are now rentals. The one on Queen was always challenging because the building was small to begin with and seems to have had a lot of turnover. It does not particularly "read" as a church in terms of design which may be a plus for some. I have never been inside but it appears rather cramped.
