The article speaks of Queen's Ave. Methodist Church, however, the the church was known as North Street Church, the cornerstone for which was laid in 1852. Because of that fire a new church was built. The cornerstone was laid on July 30, 1895 and the building was completed in 1896. It was named First Methodist Church.
