Made of Brick - 1884
As Auckland's population continued to grow, the stone Cathedral gradually
became too small for the diocesan faithful. Plans, therefore, were commissioned
from Messrs. Mahoney and Son to increase the capacity of the church.
Bishop Luck laid the foundation stone for the nave and tower addition to the
stone church on 4 May 1884.
The new, expanded Cathedral was blessed and opened within a year on 15 March
1885.
