A Mighty Fortress

There are several old churches in Edmonton and this is one of them.
This church opened in 1908 by Erskine Presbyterian. In 1925 it became Erskine United. When they moved to a new location Shiloh Baptist moved in and remained here until the early 1990's
Today it is used by an Orthodox Church
Have a great weekend everyone
