A Decent Photo Please[edit]

Can someone take a good photo of the exterior, preferably from an ecclesiastical southwest perspective? Can't do it myself since I live abroad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.170.226.91 (talk • contribs) 05:29, 18 November 2007

Re-use of stone intended for Holy Name Cathedral[edit]

The sentence "Some other stone, which had been quarried for the abandoned project to build the Holy Name Cathedral was also purchased" has been flagged as "citation needed". After a fairly diligent search, I failed to find anything online but the time period this re-use would have occurred in would be after the end of the out-of-copyright newspapers (1954) and before the advent of the WWW, so not a great period for finding online citations. But I removed it because it is somewhat implausible. Everything written about the Holy Name Cathedral, Brisbane states that Duhig needed so much stone for this massive edifice that he intended to construct it from a manufactured stone called Benedict stone and needed so much of it that he obtained a licence to manufacture it locally. It was made from a mixture of cement and crushed Brisbane tuff (aka prophry). The early work that preceded this was the foundations which were made from Brisbane tuff (a common practice in Brisbane at that time). Unlike the third phase of St John's, the period of construction (or attempted construction) of the Holy Name Cathedral was within the time period of the online historic newspapers (1954 or earlier) and there is no mention of the use of Helidon sandstone in connection with the Holy Name Cathedral other than to point out it was using manufactured stone instead. So in the absence of any evidence that the Holy Name was going to use Helidon sandstone at all, it seems unlikely there was any left-over for use on St John's Cathedral. But, if anyone can find a reliable citation that supports the claim, please add it. Kerry (talk) 02:11, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
