 The people continued to worship at St. John's until January 12, 1912, when fire destroyed the building.After the fire, it was suggested that St. John's join with St. Luke's on Somerset Street, an idea which did not appeal to either congregation.A union was then proposed between St. John's and Grace Church, and on November 3, 1913, a new parish was constituted by Vestry and became known as the Church of St. John the Evangelist.
