| dc.description | Relic in the wall from the explosion of Dec. 6, 1917; Founded in 1749 (the same year as the Halifax colony), it is the oldest Protestant church in Canada. The building was begun in 1750 (making it the oldest surviving structure in the city of Halifax) and is based on the plan of the James Gibbs church of St. Peter's, Vere Street in London (1722). In spite of the addition of a new north front and steeple in 1812, the two side wings in 1868 and the chancel in 1872, the resemblance between the two buildings is still remarkable. In 1787 St. Paul's was made a cathedral, the first Anglican cathedral outside the British Isles. Its territory covered everything from Newfoundland to present day Ontario. It remained a cathedral until 1865. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 2/8/2008) | en_US |
