St. Anne's Anglican Church
Toronto, Canada · built 1908
St. Anne's Anglican Church (also known as St. Anne's, Gladstone Avenue, St. Anne's, Brockton, or the Group of Seven Church) was a historic Anglican parish church located in the Brockton Village neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario. Established in 1862, the building, a National Historic Site of Canada, was constructed in 1907–1908 in the Byzantine Revival style, unique for an Anglican church. The interior of the church was decorated with murals by members of the Group of Seven which dated to 1923 and Byzantine mosaics installed in the 1960s. The Group of Seven murals by J. E. H. MacDonald, Frederick Varley and Franklin Carmichael were a unique example of religious works by the circle, typically known for their landscapes. The building, including its interior and artworks, was very largely destroyed by fire on Sunday, June 9, 2024. Immediate reactions included a declared intention to rebuild.
