601 Eighth Avenue
Loyal Protestant School for Children - Royal City Christian Centre (1925)
Tudor Revival Style - Eclectic Period

Officially opened in 1928 as a refuge for orphaned children, this Tudor Revival structure features a large side gabled roof punctuated by small hipped dormers, and front cross gables. The front gables have false half-timbering, and slant bay windows, while the main entrance has a Tudor arch accentuated by molded archivolts. The building was renovated in 1975 prior to its 50th anniversary. One part of the building was kept for families or individuals in crisis. The Loyal Protestant Home closed in November of 1983, and was reopened in December of 1984 as the new home of the Royal City Christian Centre.
