Administrative history
Richmond Street began as a splinter congregation coming out of the Adelaide Street Methodist Church (1832), forming the George Street British Wesleyan Church in the city. In 1837 the group returned to Adelaide Street, but in 1840 they again left that congregation. In 1845 a new building was erected on the south side of Richmond Street, between Yonge and Bay streets, the Richmond Street Methodist Church (also considered the 'Cathedral' of Toronto Methodism, because many other churches can draw their roots from this congregation). From 1847 to 1871 the congregation was also known as Toronto West, and in 1872 as Toronto Second. In 1888 the congregation re-located to a building on McCaul Street, opposite Grange Road, and the congregation became known as New Richmond Street or McCaul Street Methodist Church. In 1905 the Toronto Conference reluctantly agreed to the congregation's request that the building be sold to pay of the mortgage.
