for worship, was built in1755 for Lutherans. Except for the steeple, added in 1760, it isjust as when built. It stands at the corner of Brunswick andGerrish Streets, and is a quaint and interesting place. Garrison Church was used for years as the chief officialplace of worship for the troops, but since the withdrawal of theImperial Army, the Canadian regiment worship in differentplaces—the Presbyterians in St. Matthews. The GarrisonChurch was built after the style of the military churches inEngland, and it is now occupied by the congregation of Trinitychurch. St. Georges or the Round Church (Church of England,)attracts visitors on account of its unusual shape. It is circularin form and was built in the early years of the last century atcorner of Brunswick and Cornwallis Streets.
