Map of St. Elijah's Housing
St. Elijah's Housing is a former church in Ottawa that is today housing. The site at Lyon and Maclaren in the northwest of Centretown was originally home to a Pentecostal congregation. In 1929 it was purchased by Antiochian Orthodox Lebanese immigrants who established the St. Elijah Antiochian Orthodox Church. The original building was destroyed in a fire in 1949; the current Byzantine structure was erected to replace it. With the Lebanese Civil War Ottawa saw an influx of Antiochian Orthodox immigrants. The congregation thus decided to move to a larger structure on Riverside Drive. The building was sold to a partnership of the local Anglican Diocese and the Centretown Citizens (Ottawa) Corporation. In the Anglican half of the structure are twenty apartments for homeless women.
