Constructed from Stanwell Sandstone from 1879-83 in classic Gothic style. It was commissioned due to the objections of the locals to the quality of the churches in Rockhampton compared to other regional areas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Building actually started as early as 1874 but came to an abrupt halt due to lack of funds. It was started again in 1879 when Bishop Stanton laid the foundation stone and was finally consecrated in 1883. To this day is still used as the Anglican Cathedral.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__6cBCq1oqgY/R60Zyzy0eQI/AAAAAAAAAKY/dHU-DNeD6Go/s1600-h/St+Pauls+05.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164812708351342850" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__6cBCq1oqgY/R60Zyzy0eQI/AAAAAAAAAKY/dHU-DNeD6Go/s200/St+Pauls+05.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__6cBCq1oqgY/R6z7ADy0eKI/AAAAAAAAAJo/9XDI5e7n0vE/s1600-h/St+Pauls+10.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__6cBCq1oqgY/R6z7ADy0eKI/AAAAAAAAAJo/9XDI5e7n0vE/s1600-h/St+Pauls+10.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164778851124148386" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__6cBCq1oqgY/R6z7ADy0eKI/AAAAAAAAAJo/9XDI5e7n0vE/s200/St+Pauls+10.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__6cBCq1oqgY/R6z7ADy0eKI/AAAAAAAAAJo/9XDI5e7n0vE/s1600-h/St+Pauls+10.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__6cBCq1oqgY/R6z7ADy0eKI/AAAAAAAAAJo/9XDI5e7n0vE/s1600-h/St+Pauls+10.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__6cBCq1oqgY/R6z7ADy0eKI/AAAAAAAAAJo/9XDI5e7n0vE/s1600-h/St+Pauls+10.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__6cBCq1oqgY/R6z7ADy0eKI/AAAAAAAAAJo/9XDI5e7n0vE/s1600-h/St+Pauls+10.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/572646111459561756-5934679295326358720?l=rockyheritage.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rockyheritage.blogspot.com/feeds/5934679295326358720/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=572646111459561756&amp;postID=5934679295326358720' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/572646111459561756/posts/default/5934679295326358720'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/572646111459561756/posts/default/5934679295326358720'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rockyheritage.blogspot.com/2008/02/st-pauls-anglican-cathedral-1879-83.html' title='St Pauls Anglican Cathedral -  1879 - 83  - William Street'/><author><name>Heritage Buildings</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06010423049452801622</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/__6cBCq1oqgY/R6Qi3jy0dLI/AAAAAAAAABs/XorgASx_fbY/S220/quaystreetwharfs-large.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__6cBCq1oqgY/R6z5kzy0eII/AAAAAAAAAJY/UlHPjn_Lfww/s72-c/St+Pauls+09.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-572646111459561756.post-4034844734443412364</id><published>2008-02-08T00:02:00.000+10:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T22:57:53.498+10:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alma Street'/><title type='text'>Shandon building - 1892 - Alma Street</title><content type='html'>&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164240726081697666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__6cBCq1oqgY/R6sRlDy0d4I/AAAAAAAAAHY/AwuhvNd7lrA/s400/shandon+1.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of Rockhampton's grander residences, &lt;strong&gt;Shandon&lt;/strong&gt; was built on Alma Street in 1892 by local builder William Adam Lawson for Surgeon Dr Henry E.

This Grand old Railway station was the first in Rockhampton.&lt;br /&gt;Initially, the train serviced only local areas such as the popular weekend seaside destination of Emu Park. In 1903 however, the Brisbane-Rockhampton Line was established and Archer Park became a major termination and starting point for mail, passengers and goods.&lt;br /&gt;The importance of Archer Park Station began to decline and by 1957 only local trains and rail motors regularly stopped there.&lt;br /&gt;The Historical Society restored the building and transformed it to a Railway Museum which includes an original &lt;em&gt;Purrey Steam Tram, &lt;/em&gt;also fully restored, and it is believed to be the only one of its kind still in use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The station was designed by &lt;em&gt;Henrick Hansen&lt;/em&gt; for Queensland Railways. The curved shaped roof covered both the track and platform and protected the passengers from the elements which ment a separate carriage shed was not needed. A unique feature to Rockhampton's heritage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__6cBCq1oqgY/R6VoUjy0dqI/AAAAAAAAAFo/KleIANwvFT8/s1600-h/textdivider.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162647250265208482" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__6cBCq1oqgY/R6VoUjy0dqI/AAAAAAAAAFo/KleIANwvFT8/s200/textdivider.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6cBCq1oqgY/R6Vo1Dy0dsI/AAAAAAAAAF4/tusvnbJfOkc/s1600-h/east+street-archer-park-trams.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162647808610956994" style="CURSOR: hand" height="133" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__6cBCq1oqgY/R6Vo1Dy0dsI/AAAAAAAAAF4/tusvnbJfOkc/s200/east+street-archer-park-trams.jpg" width="216" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__6cBCq1oqgY/R6VoUTy0doI/AAAAAAAAAFY/QYP7my0cmH8/s1600-h/12513-archer-park-railway-station.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__6cBCq1oqgY/R6VoUjy0dpI/AAAAAAAAAFg/UK1SGEd0Too/s1600-h/12513-archer-park-tram-and-people.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162647250265208466" style="WIDTH: 223px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 132px" height="132" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__6cBCq1oqgY/R6VoUjy0dpI/AAAAAAAAAFg/UK1SGEd0Too/s200/12513-archer-park-tram-and-people.jpg" width="213" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;On the left, East Street as seen from the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Post Office crowded with Steam Trams.

Located on the corner of Quay Street and Denham Street was built in 1880 to a Neo Classic Revival design by the architect, F D Stanley. Its cast iron balustrades and Corinthian columns make it a very distinctive and prominent corner building. It was built with the hot tropical climate in mind with high arches and long verandahs. Originally the managers residence was on the top floor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162592223144211858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__6cBCq1oqgY/R6U2Rjy0dZI/AAAAAAAAADg/fcPmbhDvxIs/s400/textdivider.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Originalmente utilizado como sede del &lt;strong&gt;Banco Nacional de Queensland&lt;/strong&gt;.
