The Ontario Street Baptist Church has been in Stratford since 1888, with an addition that has been there since 1960. I just found out that it was going to be demolished a week ago, and actually got permission to go inside and take a final walk through for the sake of documentation.
As of right now about 15% of the church has been demolished, but the main cathedral is still standing. The building has been gutted including the organ, pews, etc.
I expect the rest of the building will come down in the next week.
I strongly suggest nobody attempts entering, since demolition has already begun.

Wow, I wish I got here sooner. Shame they are destroying it.
