Craig Sims, Heritage Building Consultant

St. Michael’s Cathedral

St. Michael’s Cathedral, 1845, Toronto, Ontario

  

As consultant to C.A. Ventin Architects responsible for condition survey, cost estimates,priority recommendations, and development of drawings and specifications for the restoration of the stained glass windows.

  

  

Built originally in the 1840s the church evolved throughout the 19^th C.

  

  

Although most of the stained glass windows date from the 
early 20^th C., this example is likely Canadian made and 
may date from c.1870 – early for Canadian glass.

  

  

Before restoration …

  

  

…and after restoration with the original paint colour replicated on the Gothic window frame.
