Glebe Presbyterian Church at the pleasant corner of Thurloe Avenue and DeSavery Crescent seems set for re-development after a summer on the real estate market. Asking price for the 1913 church was $2.85 million. Church officials have said they hope the buyer will “respect the legacy of the church” although just what that might mean seems an open question. Important to the neighborhood’s history as it is, Glebe Presbyterian is not architecturally outstanding. The 13,000 square-foot property is officially 124 Belsize Drive even though the building does not face that street. The church has had declining attendance and plans to join Leaside Presbyterian at Eglinton Ave. E and Hanna Road.
