Colonial engraving of St. Peters Cathedral showing the building incomplete and without the twin towers which finally consecrated 14th July 1901.
Bishop Short purchased just over an acre of land, on Pennington Terrace in North Adelaide, on 8 August 1862. He then had William Butterfield design the cathedral, but the long communication gap between England and Adelaide contributed to delays and disagreement. Butterfield’s plans were eventually purchased and given to Edward John Woods, of Adelaide architectural firm Wright, Woods and Hamilton, for completion. Woods changed some of the plans’ materials and design, while keeping the general details as Butterfield had proposed. Bishop Short laid the foundation stone on St. Peter’s Day 1869. Building work progressed slowly. The first service was held on St Peter’s Day 1876, though the building was incomplete.
