1880: St. Mary's Cathedral

The St. Mary's Cathedral Folder in the Hamilton Local History Collection has some FASCINATING articles dealing with the building of the original St. Mary's Cathedral. Did you know that there was a HIGH HIGH steeple on the original cathedral, and in that HIGH HIGH steeple were huge bells? Each bell was named for a Saint. Future posts will be forthcoming. The two articles accompanying this post deals with the HUGE clock being installed on the cathedral spire. Really fascinating reading.
