Wow. I had no idea Knox built such a substantial building at that spot... I assumed it was just the first wooden structure there before they moved further to the edge of town (ie, Donald and Ellice).
Holy Trinity Anglican built their current building at Donald and Graham in 1884, but the older church on Portage stood for another 20 years or so, rather sacrilegiously housing an auction near the end.
