At the corner of Margaret and Sydenham St's., it is situated on the upper bank of the Boyne River in Flesherton and surrounded by cedar trees, thus explaining the change of name for the chapel to "Cedarside Baptist Chapel". It was built by volunteer labour which allowed the cost to be kept low. Electricity was installed in the early 1900's and a furnace in 1958. A parsonage was attached to the east and rear of the chapel (date unknown). In 1888 there were 37 members which grew to 124 members in 1963 when the church was closed and the congregation purchased and relocated to the former Chalmer's Presbyterian Church on Collingwood St. Flesherton, Ontario. </span> </div> <div class="sc" id="sc12"> <h4 class="float-right">12</h4> <span class="cmStoryLine"> Cedarside Baptist Church<br />6 January 2011<br /> 37 Sydenham St., Flesherton, Ontario, Canada<br /> </span> <span class="cmStoryLineText"> </span> <br /> <br /> <a href="#12" onClick="window.open('pm_v2.php?id=display_original&lg=English&fl=0&rd=184137','CM', 'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,copyhistory=no,width=800,height=600')"><span class="topNavWhite"><img src="CommunityMemories2/ACMT/0001/image/storycard/ACMT00010063.jpg" ></span></a> <span class="cmStoryLineText">Credits:<br />South Grey Museum Collection<br></span> </div> <div class="sc" id="sc13"> <h4 class="float-left">13</h4> <span class="cmStoryLineText"> After Cedarside Baptist Church congregationmoved from this site to take over the former Presbyterian Church on Collingwood St., Flesherton, the church was decommissioned and became a private residence. </span> </div> <div class="sc" id="sc14"> <h4 class="float-right">14</h4> <span class="cmStoryLine"> R.J.
