Christ’s Church Cathedral began in 1835 as a parish church. William Thomas expanded with the addition of a stone chancel and nave extension in 1852-1854. The present nave was fashioned by Henry Langley, a specialist in church architecture noted for his mastery of High Victorian Gothic designs. Work was completed in 1876, a year after Christ’s Church was designated the cathedral of the newly form Diocese of Niagara.
Complementary business mix with pub and game room, tattoo, cannabis, and Latin grocery.
Well staged storefront with brand pillars brought forward – ethical, vibrant, artisan, and inclusive.

In juxtaposition the Central Business District has large and extra-large modern buildings, and lacks the same vibrancy and detail per square foot of the neighboring commerical district.
Here detail, such as this pylon, needs to be on a much larger scale to stand out.
