Layers of city grime are being removed from one of TORONTO’s most beautiful churches.  ST. MICHAEL’S CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL, originally built in 1845-48 by William Thomas, is an example of the English Gothic Revival style of architecture.  The Cathedral, in the centre of downtown, has undergone two major renovations: the completion of the tower and spire in 1865-67 by Gundry and Langley, and the addition of dormers by Joseph Connolly in 1890.  <SUNSET PHOTO BELOW – Skeezix1000/Wikipedia>

St. Michael’s Choir School and St. Michael’s Hospital are close by.
