St John's Cathedral

The Cathedral Church of St John the Evangelist is located on Ann Street in the city of Brisbane. The foundation stone was laid on 22nd May 1901 but the first stage was not commenced until 1906 and completed in 1910. The second stage, the addition of two bays to the nave, was consecrated on 22nd November 1968. The south-west porch was built in 1989-1990. The Cathedral is currently in the process of completion with work proceeding on linking the west end to the existing building.
