Summary

St John's Cathedral and the Deanery taken from a north-easterly aspect in about 1928

The cathedral was designed by the English architect J L Pearson, however the start of construction was supervised by Robin Smith Dods. The first stage of the building process was finished in 1910, and in 2004 the final stages are now being completed. The cathedral was originally to be placed on the Queen's Park site ( where the Pro Cathedral stood) but later changed to the current site in Ann Street, Brisbane.

The Deanery was erected in 1853 by John Petrie for Dr William Hobbs, and later altered as Governor Bowen's temporary residence. The Church of England later purchased the building and it became the Deanery.
