The nationally famous chamber music group, Thirteen Strings, was began at St. Matthews Church. St. Matthews with its tradition of English choral music was to become a serious affect in the musical life of Ottawa. Pretoria Lift Bridge connecting the Glebe to Ottawa East was in-built 1915-1917, replacing the Argyle Street wooden swing bridge to the north of the railroad. 1910. This picket swing bridge was built in 1865. The 1909 Lansdowne Park grandstand is to the appropriate. The Ottawa Electric Railway had created Electric Park - a resort for streetcar day trippers, between Bank Street, the creek and Glebe Avenue. In 1928, the Glebe's first and only theatre, The Avalon, the first in Ottawa to show sound movie, was built between First and Second Avenues. This section of Bank Street, in the original glebe between Glebe and Fifth Avenues, has all the time been the centre of the commercial space because it began to develop in the mid 1890's. The first retailers appeared sporadically, generally built with apartments above. Fifth Avenue Court is thus carrying on the tradition of being a gathering place for the group.


Birthday Girl (2001 movie starring Nicole Kidman and Ben Chaplin) options Hemel Hempstead prominently throughout scenes exhibiting the main character going to and from his place of labor (a fictional financial institution someplace in Bank Court). A number of the film Rang De Basanti had been shot at this fort. The primary development of the St. Andrews glebe was accompanied by the constructing of the Presbyterian Glebe Mission at 53-fifty five Third Avenue near O'Connor Street in 1894. It was constructed for the sum of $2000, first as a college, later in 1896 turning into a church. The primary Glebe church to be built was the picket Zion Congregational Church, of 1892, later clad in brick. The brand new First Avenue School (1898) and the OConnor Street bridge are seen in the gap. The original horse stalls are still intact. Fortunately, for the continuity of the shopping centre, none ever appeared in the original glebe. Within the area of the current Fifth Avenue Court the first grocery was constructed by Moreland, on the corner of Bank Street and Fourth Avenue, inside which was a corridor which was renowned for providing the primary accommodation for four Glebe churches: Anglican, Presbyterian, Baptist and Methodist. The first grocery store was in-built 1895 at Fourth Avenue.


Located at 91a Fourth Avenue, it turned the Church of the Nazarene in 1942, and eventually the current Friends Meeting House in 1966. In the 1980's the Friends (Quakers) sold the original church constructing, occupying the wing adjacent instead and changing the stability into townhouses. It was replaced by the present Glebe United Church on Lyon Street in 1904, designed by J.W.H.Watts,also the designer of the first wooden St. Matthews Church. In 1898 the primary St. Matthews Church was in-built wooden gothic fashion, and named after St. Matthews in Quebec City where the first minister had served. The primary residence on the site was a easy slab and bark hut used by Mrs Macarthur during her husband's exile - the location now being marked by a stone cairn. This was changed in the mid 1920's by the present gothic masonry constructing, cфng ty xвy dựng and their site on Bank Street occupied by Loblaws Grocery, now Phase Two, a clothing retailer. Bank Street was not paved till 1915 and there have been few vehicles on Bronson Avenue.


In 1901 cars started to look within the Glebe which partly accounted for its sudden development at the start of the twentieth century with the primary garages and gas stations being inbuilt 1915. The Samuel Rogers Oil Company had storage sheds alongside the Canada Atlantic Railway Company's line, now the Queensway, from 1889 to 1906. The primary garages were built north of Glebe Avenue and south of Fifth Avenue until by the mid twenties there have been about eleven. Houses have been constructed first east of Bank Street in an area briefly known as Spencerville, after which south of Fifth Avenue on Mutchmor's land. Since the mid seventies all the gas stations on Bank Street have disappeared and just one garage stays at the corner of Fifth Avenue. There were about sixteen different comparable simple homes belonging primarily to market gardeners constructed in the late seventies and mid eighties. An financial depression set in in the course of the early seventies in order that little occurred alongside Bank Street till the turn of the century, after the economic increase of the nineties, when the Glebe began to be subdivided into residential lots.
