St Patrick's Cathedral and Hall - Physical Description 1
Construction of the Cathedral began in 1857 to a design, allegedly by the English architects the Hansom brothers, modified and supervised by the architects Shaw & Dowden. Building halted many times and by 1863 when ." the nave and side aisles were opened the local architect J.B.Denny (a protge of.Pugin) had taken over the Work. In 1870 the transepts, side chapels, chancl and sacristy were completed, and in 1891 Reed, Smart & Tappin designed furnishings. Although of a conventional basilican cross section and cruciform and conventional materials - bluestone with freestone dressings, the building: notable for its fine detailing and intactness. The influence of Pugin is refll in the tracery of the windows, mouldings and openings. The bluestone nave arc, and scissor beam roof structure are also of note. The fence and entrance ~ate, cast iron are important for their unusual and elaborate design and extent. TJ building is of state-wide importance for its associations, Pugin inspired detail and intactness. It forms part of an intact Cathedral complex that has no parallels in Victoria.
