Administrative history
Under Rev. John Stuart, father of the Anglican Church in Upper Canada, a small wooden edifice was constructed in 1791. In the beginning, seven families made up the congregation of St. George's Church. In 1825 construction was begun on a stone building that, consecrated three years later, replaced the first St. George's Church. The original building served for some time as a school house. In 1900 it was torn down. When the Diocese of Ontario was formed in 1862, St. George's Church became the Cathedral. In 1870 St. George's Hall was added and a dome erected in 1891. On New Year's day, 1899 the interior of the Cathedral was destroyed by fire. The Cathedral was re-constructed in eighteen months.
