World's Finest Examples of Ecclesiastical Gothic Revival in North America.(1843). Destroyed
by the St. John's Great Fire of 1892. Rebuilding Began the Following Year and Was Completed
in 1905. Declared a National Historic Site in 1981, the Cathedral Preserves its Excellent

British Cathedral Artifacts. The Area Behind the Church Encompasses a Cemetery -- Originally
Called the Burying Ground -- Which Was Used from the Early 1700s until 1849. Although Few
Headstones (Such as Sir William Carson's) Remain, it Contains about 5,000 Graves.
Founded in 1699, Making it the Oldest in Canada, the Parish Celebrates its 300th Anniversary
Throughout 1999 Through a Wide Variety of Special Events, Many of Which Are of Interest to
the Public.
Roman Catholic Basilica of St. John the Baptist
With its Twin 43-meter-high Towers and Location on the High Hill on the Northern Side of the
Harbor, the Basilica Has Long Been the Dominant Feature of the St. John's Skyline. Begun in
1841 and Completed in 1850, the Military Road Structure Was Consecrated as a Cathedral in
1855. At That Time, it Was the Largest Church in North America. Built in the Shape of a
Latin Cross, it Was Declared a Minor Basilica on its Centenary in 1955. It Is Now a National
Historic Site. Guided Summer Tours Available.
St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church
On Harvey Road Stands an Imposing Gothic Revival Building with an Impressive Spire. St.
Andrew's Was Built in 1894 after the Original Presbyterian Church on Duckworth Street Was
Destroyed in the Great Fire of 1892.
St. Thomas Anglican Church
A Striking Black Wooden Building Opened in 1836, St. Thomas Anglican Church Is the Oldest
Church in St. John's. Located at the Corner of Military and King's Bridge Roads, it Originally
Served the Members of the British Garrison at Fort William, Which Stood at the Nearby Site Now
Occupied by the Hotel Newfoundland. Though Made of Wood, the Church Survived the Great Fires
of 1846 and 1892 -- it Was Located Outside the Main Areas of Destruction.
