612 Stuart Street
Grace Presbyterian Church/ Arketype, Inc.
Built: 1910; 1929
Style: Neogothic Revival
Adaptive Reuse
Good example of a cruciform plan Neogithic revival structure. The original 1910 portion of the building rests behind the later 1929 addition on Monroe Avenue, which includes the sanctuary and the bell tower (facing Stuart Street). Noted architectural elements include: grouped lancet windows divided into an upper and lower with wood spandrels, pointed arch windows, and a strong English Gothic character square tower. A plaque on the building dated 1926 indicates the original church was constructed on the site in 1885, and used until 1907; services were conducted in French until 1916. This former church has seen a complete overhaul and is a great example of adaptive reuse while retaining much of the building’s original character.
