| The Simcoe Street United Church began as the Simcoe Street Methodist Church. It was renamed in 1925 when the United Church of Canada came into being. Opening services held on May 31, 1868 included a sermon by Reverend W. Morley Punshon, described as the most eloquent man of Methodism. Ornamental timber arches and tin ceiling panels dominate the interior. The tin ceiling panels were supplied by the Pedlar People Limited, a local Oshawa firm. The church was completely renovated between 1911 and 1915 to enlarge the choir area, add new pews and a heating system, and to build a new Sunday school building. |
