38 Backside View of Saint Boniface Cathedral in Winnipeg, Canada

This backside view of Saint Boniface Cathedral shows part of its architectural history. The first church was founded here in 1818 followed by a new cathedral in 1832. It was destroyed by fire in 1860 and rebuilt in two years. 45 years later, the cathedral was replaced with a much larger structure with an ornate, imposing façade. When fire struck again in 1906, all that was left were the stone walls. It was not until 1972 that another, much smaller church was built within the former shell. Notice the protruding section on the left. That is the 1906 façade.
