Jarvis Street Baptist was one of the first churches in Canada to be built with an amphitheatre-style interior. Ground-floor seating is grouped in a semicircle, while the gallery above is horseshoe-shaped. The ceiling has a magnificent rosette-shaped stained-glass skylight. The main entrance is set under a tower with a copper spire. Don’t miss the gargoyles outside the entrance doors.
