Danforth Gospel Hall, ON

In 1899, a Gospel Hall was planted on the eastern side of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, thought to have been a hive from what is now Broadview Avenue Gospel Hall, early known as the East End Gospel Hall. In the 1910's, a Hall was built at 84 Swanwick Avenue where it met until 1950 when its current structure on Danforth Avenue was built. It was known as East Toronto Gospel Hall, but more popularly the Swanwick Avenue Gospel Hall until their move to Danforth when it was rebranded as Danforth Gospel Hall.
