This series contains records related to the property on the corner of Sherbrooke and Simpson streets. Construction of the main church building and Channing Hall began in October 20, 1906 and the congregation moved in on September 1, 1907. Unitarian House was purchased in September of 1946 and was located at 3419 and 3421 Simpson street, immediately to the north of the main church property. Channing Hall housed a pastor’s study, a kitchen and rooms dedicated to various purposes over the years. It also housed the Sunday school. Over the years 1968 to 1970 Channing Hall underwent a remodelling. After the purchase of Unitarian House, the buildings were subdivided into classrooms for the Sunday school. It was in use by the church until 1978, when it began to be leased to various tenants.
The Church remained at this property until the fire of May 25, 1987, which destroyed the main church building.

The series is comprised architectural drawings related to the construction and renovation of all buildings on the property, including not only the main church building but also Unitarian House and Channing Hall.
