Lost Opportunities

[kps]

I was walking on Roy Street the other day, and noticed how close the back of the old Zion United Church's Sunday School Room is to the yard of the house on 41 Roy Street. A friend and I were researching the history, whether the house or the church extension came first. [...]

There's a 1913 map you can find online that suggests the house predates the current church footprint, but they were already fairly close. The next earlier map I know of is 1879, when neither exist.

If only Kitchener put their historical fire insurance maps online like Waterloo does, this would be easy to answer. (KPL seems to be actively hostile to sharing historical information.)
