IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT

R.S.O. 1990, CHAPTER O.18 AND

CITY OF TORONTO, PROVINCE OF ONTARIO

817 MOUNT PLEASANT ROAD

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE THE PROPERTY

TAKE NOTICE that Council for the City of Toronto intends to designate the property, including the lands, buildings and structures thereon known municipally as 817 Mount Pleasant Road under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.O.18, as amended, as a property of cultural heritage value or interest.

Reasons for Designation

The property at 817 Mount Pleasant Road is worthy of designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value, and meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, under the categories of design/physical, historical/associative, and contextual value.

Description

Located on the southeast corner of Mount Pleasant Road and Roehampton Avenue, St. Peter's Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church (817 Mount Pleasant Road) was commissioned by Estonian immigrants and designed by Estonian-Canadian architect and church member, Michael Bach. Erected in 1955 as a memorial to the thousands of Estonians who died in both World Wars, the Estonian War of Independence, and as refugees, it continues to serve as an active place of worship and commemoration for Toronto’s Estonian Evangelical Lutheran community and as a cultural hub for the broader Estonian-Canadian community. The property contains a Mid-Century Modernist style A-Frame Church with attached two-storey ancillary wing, a 1970 Modernist style freestanding, pre-cast concrete belltower, and columbarium. Based on Bach's plan, fellow Estonian-Canadian architect and church member Ants Elken oversaw the addition of the Ladies Guild Room to the north wing, bell tower, and courtyard with garden wall, which were completed by 1970.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value

Historical and Associative Value

The property has value for its direct association with Toronto's Estonian-Canadian community. St. Peter's Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church was established in 1948 by Estonian immigrants fleeing Soviet occupation after the end of the Second World War. Following a brief period of worship at St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church at 274 Concord Avenue, in 1954 the church commissioned Estonian-Canadian architect and church member, Michael Bach, to design their own place of worship. Constructed and consecrated in 1955, the property has continuously served as a place of worship for the Estonian Evangelical Lutheran community and a cultural hub for the broader Estonian Canadian community. 

The church also has value for its association with the noted Estonian-Canadian architect, Michael Bach (1916-1972), who is identified as a person of significance by Toronto’s Estonian-Canadian community. An instructor at the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Toronto, Bach was the first of a group of Estonian-Canadian architects to arrive in Toronto after the Second World War who would play an important role in advancing Modernism in Toronto. The subject property reflects the ideas of Michael Bach, which were heavily influenced by Scandinavian Modernist architecture. This is evidenced through its Mid-Century Modernist design, clean lines, and an emphasis on natural materials.

The property has further value for its association with acclaimed Austro-Canadian glass artist and painter Ernestine Tahedl, who created the property's stained-glass windows between 1987 and 1990. With a career spanning over 60 years, her works include the coloured-glass windows for the Sanctuary building at the Canadian pavilion for Expo ‘67 (1965-1967) and the Salvation Army Sanctuary in Toronto (2023). Other notable works by Tahedl include the concrete and glass sculpture lantern at McGill University (1968), and the glass mosaics for the former Edmonton Post Office (1965), which were reinstalled at the Royal Alberta Museum in 2016.

Design Value

The property at 817 Mount Pleasant Road has design value as a representative example of a Mid-Century Modernist style A-Frame church. Its clean lines, functionality, simplicity of form, honest expression of both natural and manufactured materials, and large, steep, gable-ended roofline and freestanding bell tower are hallmarks of the Mid-Century Modernist style. The property is a unique for its fan-shaped plan with sloping roof ridge, complex four-point glulam beam trusses, copper clad roof with ridges referencing the glulam trusses, prow-shaped principal elevation with projecting front gable, and richly textured brick cladding laid in the Common bond pattern featuring alternating recessed and protruding courses.

The property also has design value for its artistic merit which masterfully combines scale, form, and massing, with structural elements and materials. This is reflected in the building's fan shaped floor plan and rear sloping roof ridge that, on the interior, draws the eye to the altar in the sanctuary at the liturgical (east) end, a floating balcony surmounted by a full height window at the west end, a wood clad cathedral ceiling supported by a system of four-point wood laminated glulam trusses, and pyramidal hanging light fixtures.

Contextual Value

St. Peter's Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church has contextual value as a landmark property on Mount Pleasant Road. Constructed in 1955 and enlarged in 1970 and 1975, its distinctive free-standing bell tower and Mid-Century Modernist design stand out among the surrounding mix of early-20th century house-form buildings, modern mixed-use mid and high-rise structures, and the Collegiate-Gothic style of Northern Secondary School directly to the north. St. Peter's Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church also has value as a cultural landmark for the greater Toronto area as an active place of worship serving Toronto's Estonian Evangelical Lutheran community and its members throughout the city for the past 70 years.
