Property Description
BUILDING AND LAND ONLY FOR SALE: Historic Church Transformed into Iconic Restaurant & Event Venue. This stunning historic property, located at the prominent corner of Brunswick and Waterloo Streets in Stratford, offers an exceptional opportunity for investors, developers, or entrepreneurs. Originally built in 1873-74 as the Mackenzie Memorial Gospel Church, it was beautifully converted into a restaurant and event venue in 1975 while retaining its Victorian architectural features. The property spans nearly half an acre, with generous parking and a prime location just steps from Stratford's famous theatres. The main dining area offers 142 licensed seats in 5,300 square feet of space, featuring original stained-glass windows, wooden trusses, and a striking curved bar with a custom copper chandelier. The fully equipped commercial kitchen, discreetly added under the dining room, includes walk-in coolers and freezers. The mezzanine level, known as the Belfry, features 1,800 square feet of lounge space and is licensed for 99 guests. This gastro-lounge delivers a modern vibe with vaulted ceilings, peacock blue décor, a built-in bar, and a cozy copper fireplace, making it an inviting space for intimate gatherings or cocktail events. The basement adds 3,180 square feet of functional space, including food prep areas, storage, staff rooms, and mechanical systems. The building is fully sprinklered and in excellent condition. This property presents a rare opportunity for entrepreneurs, developers, and investors looking to own a landmark site with endless potential. Owning this property is not just an investment in real estate, but in a piece of Stratford’s rich history—a place where tradition meets contemporary flair, making it a truly iconic venue in one of Ontario's most beloved cultural destinations.
