The present building on King Street was opened in 1817. Designed by the celebrated Scottish architect Archibald Simpson, originally the nave was surrounded by galleries with an apse and altar at at the east end. In 1880 the choir and chancel were added to the design of G E Street, with the Porch added in 1911. Saint Andrew’s became the Cathedral Church of the Diocese in 1914. In the 1920s plans were drawn up for a new Cathedral to be built with funds from America, but the Wall Street Crash intervened. Instead, the existing Cathedral was extended and beautified. It has served as both a parish church and a Cathedral ever since. |
