On October 31, 1920, at St. Clement's Anglican Church on Jones Avenue, a memorial tablet was unveiled in honour of the 282 parishioners (281 soldiers and one nurse) who enlisted for service in the First World War — 38 of whom laid down their lives. Reverend W. I. Baynes Reed performed the ceremonial unveiling of the tablet on the south wall of the building, which was dedicated to the church by the Red Cross Society and the Anglican Young People’s Association. 

Having outgrown its space for the second time, St. Clement's started a building fund in 1910. A new site on Jones Avenue was purchased in 1911, with the cornerstone for the new building being laid in 1913. The church was disestablished in 2006 and remained abandoned for several years. In 2015, the church was converted into residential space.
