A friend and I were researching the history, whether the house or the church extension came first. I suspect the house came first, based on my rudimentary knowledge of architectural periods. Anyway, as my friend and I endeavoured to research this question, she stumbled across this thesis in architecture on the internet, devoted to the old abandoned church buildings DTK. For this reason, I thought it suitable to post this to the "Doors Closed Waterloo" thread. I will also cross post in the "missed opportunities" thread in Urban Design because as of now, we know that at least one of the churches studied has been demolished in favour of a high rise condo building.

Thank you SO much for posting this! I've been doing some research that involves abandoned (or just very old) churches for an architectural/art exhibition and wanted to put some focus on Waterloo Region specifically.
