HERITAGE STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE APPENDIX A STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE revised 1 May 2012 RYERSON UNITED CHURCH 2205 West 45 th Avenue, VANCOUVER Note: this SOS is prepared for Ryerson United Church for municipal heritage planning purposes. The consent of the owner must be secured for the SOS to be used for other purposes including possible listing on the provincial or federal registers of historic places Figure 1: Postcard view from the corner of Yew and 45 th Avenue towards Ryerson Church HISTORIC PLACE DESCRIPTION Ryerson United Church is a neo-gothic style stone building located in Vancouver s Kerrisdale neighborhood at the northwest corner of West 45 th Avenue and Yew Street. Completed in 1928, the building is listed on the Vancouver Heritage Register in the A Category. HERITAGE VALUE The heritage value of Ryerson United Church is related to the history and development of Kerrisdale, the establishment of the United Church in Canada, its landmark presence, its architecture and materiality, its notable stained glass windows and its role as an active venue for Vancouver s musical and cultural life. In 1911 the Kerrisdale Methodist Church was built at the northeast corner of 45 th and Yew across the street from the current church building (on the site of the current Memorial Building). The land had been presented to the church by Mssrs. Noble, Ford and Leeson. Three subsequent additions to that building were made to accommodate the growing congregation, contemporary with the development of the Kerrisdale neighbourhood. By 1927 four lots on the northwest corner of W. 45 th and Yew had been purchased by Mr. Chris Spencer and presented to the church for a new building for the congregation. Designed by the architects Richard Thomas Perry and Robert Claud Kerr and built by Frederick Davies, the present church - named Ryerson United Church - was completed and dedicated by March 1928. Perry is noted for designing Vancouver s Tatlow Court (1927-28) and Bessborough Armoury (1934). Ryerson United Church was one of early buildings constructed after the establishment of the United Church of Canada the union of the Methodist, Congregational Union and most of the Presbyterian Churches in Canada in 1925. With its prominent tower and landscaped set back, the church is a neighbourhood landmark. Architecturally, the building is a fine example of the neo-gothic style reminiscent of English parish churches. The building features picturesque massing, a prominent roof shape and corner steeple, gothic arched windows and robust stone cladding. The entry to the church is at the base of the square steeple, which features tapered stone buttresses, louvered lancet openings and a crenellated parapet. The interior of the church has many of the original features, including pointed Gothic arches and wood paneling and pews. There is also evidence of extensive renovations completed in 1963 by the architectural firm of Thompson Berwick and Pratt. This includes the narthex screen, choir screen - with its sculptures by artist Jack Harman and pendant lanterns. Harman also designed the cover for the baptismal font. An important feature of the building is the large Casavant organ dedicated in 1964. The church is known for its good acoustics, especially for choral work, and is used extensively by a number of local musical groups for concerts and recordings. The nave seats around 835 people in oak and cedar pews. The sounds from the steeple s carillon reinforce the musical significance of the church. The ten stained glass windows found in the nave and transepts are the work of Duncan Dearle and date from 1953 and 1954. They are amongst the last works by Dearle, an English stained-glass master who carried on the work of Morris & Company. They were donated to the church by David Spencer. The scenes depicted are: Baptism of Christ, First Miracle of Cana, Road to Emmaus, Resurrection Morning, Supreme Sacrifice, Christ Blessing the Children, the Good Shepherd, the Adoration, Christ in the Carpenter s Shop and Christ in the Temple with Doctors.
