Comments

The St Peter's Anglican Cathedral, North Adelaide is the Seat of the Archbishop of Adelaide. The land for the cathedral was purchased on 8/8/1862 by Bishop Short, with construction beginning in 1868. The first service in the partly completed building was held on 29/6/1876. This part of the building was consecrated on 1/1/1878. Further building work began in 1890 to build the two towers and the western part of the nave. Work ceased in 1894 as funds had been exhausted. Work did not recommence for some considerable time, as further donations were collected, with the completed building consecrated on 7/4/1904. Over the years further alterations and additions have been made to meet the needs of the congregation. More historical information/photographs of the cathedral/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 17/2/2022.
