Our Saviour Lutheran Church resides in Westboro, just inside the residential neighbourhood off of Carling Avenue. The building is clad in red brick and has a very solid form and architectural presence, anchoring itself amidst single family dwellings.

White breezeblocks framed by thin concrete provide contrast to the heaviness of the brick building. The bell tower has a flat roof in the middle of which sits a copper spire, not unlike other churches in the city of this time.
