St. George's Cathedral (Kingston, Ontario)
- St. George's Cathedral (Kingston, Ontario)
St. George's Cathedral in Kingston, Ontario is the cathedral church of the Anglican Diocese of Ontario. Successor to the first St. George's parish church, a wooden building of 1792 located across from what is now Kingston Market Square, the present church building was constructed from 1825-1828 and enlarged in 1838-40 with the addition of a rebuilt steeple and the doric portico. It was elevated to cathedral status in 1862. In 1891-94 the transepts, choir and dome were built but shortly thereafter in 1899 the interior was badly damaged by fire, with a complete restoration being finished the following year.
The Cathedral was rocked by a paedophilia scandal in the 1980s involving a choirmaster and choirboys of then boys' choir, now disbanded in consequence.
St. George's, Kingston was treated fictionally as St. Nicholas's, Salterton, in Robertson Davies's novel "Leaven of Malice".
