Completion of St. Patrick's Cathedral, AUCKLAND.
The Cathedral, with spire, was erected in 1384 at a cost of £6687. The Presbytery, which was built in 1888, cost £2125. The building at the rear of the Cathedral is the old church erected in 1848.
(This is a view of the original building in scoria stone erected in 1848. The south end was the sanctuary. At the enlargement in 1884 the old portion formed the transept. '1 he sacristy was built about 1880, and the altar recess in 1895. All this is now demolished.)
This building was 90ft. by 30ft. The Catholics of Auckland were so proud of this church that they proposed in 1868 to erect a spire.)
