History Biographical: 

St. Alban's Anglican Church (Torrance, Ont.) is a church in  Trinity-St. Alban's Anglican Parish (Bala, Ont.).

Some of the first Anglican services held in the Torrance area were done in the Orange Hall, which was built in 1908. When the Orangemen built a new hall, the Anglicans of the area bought the old on, and St. Alban's became the first church in Torrance. In the early 1960's, St. Alban's combined with the congregation of Trinity Anglican Church (Bala, Ont). 

In 1958 St. Alban's remodeled the church sanctuary and installed a small 'triptych' window behind the altar.
