Description
Français : Église Saint-Luke de Waterloo, Québec

On lit:
Église anglicane St-Luke's (1869-1870) Style pittoresque - 420 de la Cour

Construite entre 1869 et 1870 sur un terrain cédé par Asa B. Foster, l'architecte Thomas Seaton Scott (nommé architecte en chef des travaux publics du Canada de 1870 à 1881)m reçu mandat de construire cette église dès le printemps 1867 pour y accueillir 400 fidèles. La supervision des travaux fut confiée aux Arch Deacon Lindsay, John B. Lay, Roswell A. Ellis et son gendre Edward Slack. Le coût des travaux s'éleva à 16,000$ et l'église fut consacrée le 15, décembre 1870.

À l'origine l'église possédait une longue tour coiffée d'un campanile surplombé d'une longue croix de bois, lesquels furent détruits par la foudre et il fut décidé de ne pas les reconstruire. La tour, en 1900, fut dédiée à la mémoire du Arch Deacon Lindsay et, le 25 septembre 1949, un mélodieux carillon fut installé pour le bonheur des citoyens. L'intérieur n'étant pas en reste, les fidèles ont le loisir d'entendre depuis 1918 un orgue Casavant. Ce beau joyau fut avec raison déclaré monument historique le 26 juillet 1978.
