Former Methodist Church

In 1838 the Wesleyan Methodists built a simple frame church on Mill Street North at a cost of $1,400, “to serve the settlers who previously had depended upon saddlebag preachers”. The 1865 Wentworth County Directory Listing for Waterdown describes the Methodist Church as “built of hand-hewn plank and capable of seating 400 persons”. That same year the building was covered in stone, and except for the addition of a Sunday School in 1880 and other minor alterations, the exterior has changed little since that date. In 1925 this Methodist Church building became the United Church of Waterdown. When a new church building was required by the congregation in 1957, it was built on Parkside Drive and the Waterdown Alliance Church bought this building for their congregation.

The building currently is occupied by Birmingham Consulting.
