In 1832, the first St Paul's was erected on a one acre parcel of land had been set aside by the Canada Company. The small frame building was crudely built, contained a few benches, and was poorly constructed. The building burned in 1845.(Submitted on September 27, 2023, by Tim Boyd of Hamilton, Ontario.)
The second building was erected in 1856 on the land where the parish rectory now stands. Again it was a wooden frame structure, built to serve the community until a more substantial church could be erected. St. Paul's received its first permanent incumbent in 1859.
