Completed in 1900, it was the site of the state funeral of Sir Robert Borden in 1937.

Leanne Moussa, one of the organizers of the drive to purchase and redevelop the building, says its link with past prime ministers is going to remain part of its future.

She says the plans include an interpretive centre for Prime Ministers’ Row, the historic strip along Laurier Avenue East that includes Laurier House itself, across from the church.

Plans also include: Multi-faith worship, weddings and a conference centre with catering in the building. The buyers want to offer a new location to TAN Coffee, which recently closed its Sandy Hill location after a lease expired.
