Junction Residents Association update on the Czechoslovak Church on the N/E corner of High Park Photo by Junction Resents Association co-chair Martin L.
A zoning review has been issued for the Czechoslovak Church on the N/E corner of High Park and Annette. This property has been up for sale twice in the last year and more than a few developers have had their eye on it.
The zoning review states “convert existing church into an eight unit residential building”.
Looks like they plan to convert the church and not demo it. Although the handyman shop is an example of how that turns out sometimes.
Hopefully the planers take the time to integrate the church structure and strike a balance of old and new similar to the Victory Lofts down the street.

The handyman shop contains but the slightest integration of the old. The building was never that significant, unlike this church, which is more of a unique structure. I think this will turn out well, but we must be vigilant, lest preserving a few bricks be deemed preservation.
Falling snow image is a nice festive touch.
Happy Holidays!
Agreed A.R. this building is of much greater importance than the handyman shop. Really I would expect the community to be up in arms about this
I think that a lot expect a similar thing conversion to Victoria Lofts.
thanks it was fun to find it and plug it in /junctioneer
