| Description : |
This view of St Peter's Cathedral is from the rear and shows the side and transept. The cathedral at this stage lacks the Lady Chapel, which was built in 1904. St Peter's Cathedral is built in the Gothic Revival style and is considered an important example of this style in Australia. The design was by English architect William Butterfield, but then modified by Edward Woods of the Adelaide firm of Wright, Woods and Hamilton. It has been constructed from Tea Tree Gully stone and has open supporting arches and several fine stained glass windows. Construction began in 1869 and was completed in 1904 with the consecration of the Lady Chapel. |
