12cm of textual records and architectural drawings.
Note: Includes 11 architectural drawings.

This sub-series contains documents related to the rebuilding and move efforts in the wake of the fire that destroyed the Sherbrooke street church building on May 25, 1987. It includes reports on the state of the church buildings after the fire, as well as internal correspondence between Church officers and external correspondence with various legal, consulting, architectural and construction firms. It also includes calls for and received project proposals, along with financial analyses and draft resolutions to be submitted to the congregation regarding said proposals.

Notably there is also a copy of an ultimately rejected proposal, with drawings, called the "Simpson Project." It aimed to build a mixed use high-rise tower on the site of the Sherbrooke street church, which would’ve included space for the Church. There are also 11 full sized architectural drawings of the project. The project was controversial in the greater local community and the sub-series also contains correspondance from community members and minutes of city consultation meetings.
