Description
Barton Stone United (formerly Presbyterian) Church, 21 Stone Church Road West at Upper James Street, was built between 1845 and 1847 (Fig. 1). It is a good example of the early phase of the Gothic Revival in Ontario. The original church has a simple rectangular, box-like plan; the hall at the west end of the church is a 1973 addition.
As the name of the church indicates, it is built of stone, coursed rubble for the sides and back, squared stone for the façade. The only specifically Gothic feature is the pointed arch for the original main doorway that faces east towards Upper James Street, although there are paired pointed sub-frames in the rectangular windows in the side walls. The low pitch of the roof ultimately reflects the temple façades of Greco-Roman antiquity.
