About

The Spire

82 Sydenham St. Kingston Ontario map

since 1852

A notable Kingston landmark in the heart of the city for over 160 years.

The Spire is an anchor heritage building and venue in the historic “Old Sydenham Heritage Conservation District” in downtown Kingston, built by the Methodists in 1851. For generations it has been a place where community members have gathered to worship as well as to receive support, sing, learn, rehearse, perform and attend concerts.

Every week over 1,200 Kingstonians use The Spire to create music, to plan programs, to find counsel, and to gather for learning and support.
