The Parkdale Baptist Church First World War Window was erected by parents and loved ones and dedicated to the parishioners who gave their lives in the First World War and unveiled on April 20, 1930. The ceremony was performed by Colonel Hon. W.H. Price, Attorney General of Ontario. The window theme was "Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a crown of life (Rev. 2-10)".

The church at Queen Street W and Callander Street was demolished in 1985. There are no records of what happened to the window.
