Presbyterian Church designed by famous Condon architect Carmel Presbyterian Church, Hen- sall, is among the edifices featured in a recently published high-quality hardcover book titled"Victorian Ar- chitecture in London and Southwestern Ontario." The local church is included in the section on the Durand era, which gives a com- prehensive biography of leading Lon- don architect George Durand, An imposing tower pictured in the architect's original drawing was never built. A brief history of the Presbyterian congregation in Hensall is also of- fered. Their first church was built in 1848 to provide a pulpit for the Reverend John Logie. He was recall- ed later by a parishioner: "I remember him best as he was acknowledged as "the hest designer preaching, his long scant hair brush- - . pr4aarrtwisr cmorrete Brw alk --- t**t*i ". 1.• .. 1 ?NWT V.•- Original Architectural Concept of Carmel Presbyterian Church in the Dominion" by the Advertiser at the time of his death at age 39 in 1889. According to authors Nancy Z. Tausky and Lynne DiStefano, "The Hensall church is especially striking in the extraordinary delicacy of its details. Mullions divide the windows into narrow units; the pinnacles have fine, sharp mouldings; and the slender lines of the bichromatic design for a filigree of brick". ed back from the high forehead, the thin mobile lips quivering under the excitement of intense thought, the face turned slightly to the left and uplifted, the eyes not looking at his congregation but over and above them, to that particular lefthand cor• - ner, and flashing back and fourth, as the magnetic needle quivers under a strong current." - Another source credited this Queensway news Well, hello everyone! Hope you had a super Christmas and are looking forward to ringing in the new year. Queensway is really looking forward to the new year with anticipation. But first we want to share with you *hat we were up to last week. Monday afternoon it was time for Ladies Hour. We I ad a delightful visit while we enjoyed make-up makeovers and hand massages. It was a very relaxing afternoon. Tuesday morning we got together and woke up with exercises. Then in the afternoon Mr. Cowan came over to lead our Tuesday church service. Wednesday morning Father Mooney came to Queensway to hold communion for our Catholic residents. Christmas carolling was the name of the game on Wednesday afternoon. With the help of Joyce Pepper we sang our favourite hymns, and after we all enjoyed hot chocolate and Christmas goodies. It was a very seasonal afternoon to say the least. Finally that evening, Christmas Eve, we had the absolute pleasure of welcoming the Lakeview Conser- vative Singers. The singers did not use instrumental accompaniment, therefore the four-part harmony was truly beautiful to listen to. At this time, we would like to thank Mildred Gingerich and Kim Dobson for help- ing us serve our lunch for this special occasion. Thanks ladies. Before I close, Queensway would like to welcome Mr. Gord Beierling into our home. We hope you have a super and safe New t'ear's and we'll talk to you next year! unusual man as capable of reading 13 languages, and speaking 11. In startling contrast, the second minister was apparently more in- terested in "fast horses" than learn- ing. In an economy of understate- ment, one church history comments that "his was not the happiest ministry". The pendulum swung again. The scholarship and conscientiousness of the third minister, Rev. R.Y. Thomp- son, so enlarged the congregation that the present Carmel Presbyterian Church was built in 1886. Other buildings designed by Durand include the Perth County building in Stratford, Victoria Hall, Petrolia, Knox Presbyterian Church in Listowel and the original Stratford General Hospital. Among the London structures are Endiang, the John Labatt House; Waverly, the Charles Goodhue House at 10 Grand Avenue; and the Ben jamin Cronyn Jr. House which is now part of Central Baptist. The book is published by Universi- ty of Toronto Press.
