Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Christ Church Cathedral (Ottawa, Ont.) : Christ Church Cathedral of Ottawa was formally established and built in 1832. However, it was not until 1833 that the Anglican congregation was formally organized. By 1841, rapid growth in the population of Bytown, and subsequent increase in congregation, necessitated an enlargement plan and additional land. Construction was completed by October 1843. Over the next quarter-century it was again realized that space was inadequate and, by 1865 a rectory was built immediately west of the exiting church. In January, 1872, it was decided that a new and larger church be constructed on the site of the old church. On 3 March 1872, the last service in the old church was held. Demolition and reconstruction began immediately thereafter. The new building was formally opened September 29rd, 1873 and the first service took place at 11:00am that day.
