1860s - St George's Tce

1860s

St Georges Terrace, as shown above in 1860 and 1862, was named for St George's Cathedral. Originally, houses occupied by clergy of the cathedral and lay clerks of the cathedral choir constituted a substantial portion of the Terrace. Some of these houses such as the Deanery remain, however the majority of these were demolished in the 1960s.

The original St George's Cathedral, depicted above in 1864, was built by Frederick Irwin in December 1829 a few months after the city was founded, but replaced in 1888 by a larger structure which still exists today.

The Central Government Offices, shown as they originally appeared around 1863, were rebuilt in 1874 along St George's Tce.
