Inside the home
Park Baptist Church was designed by John Turner and built in 1883. After closing in 1992, it was converted into a 15-unit residential building around 2000-2001. It sits on a prominent corner at George Street in downtown Brantford, one block from the Wilfrid Laurier campus. The building carries its heritage seriously — original rose windows, stained glass, vaulted ceilings, and decorative columns are intact inside the common areas and some units. The mechanical side has seen real investment: new electrical and plumbing in 2011, a Viessmann boiler system in 2022, and over $80,000 in exterior brick, cement, and window work between 2019 and 2024. Unit interiors are functional but carry the basic finishes from the original conversion. The building is fully occupied and includes 21 parking spaces — a meaningful asset at this location. This is an income property buy, not a renovation project.
