Cap. Former John Bathersby John Joseph Gerry † † = deceased Cathedral Main article : Cathedral of St Stephen, Brisbane The gothic revival cathedral is located on a site bounded by Elizabeth, Charlotte and Edward Streets, in the Australian city of Brisbane. Built between 1864 and 1922, with extensions made in 1989, the cathedral was established with James Quinn as its first bishop. Quinn planned to construct a large cathedral to accommodate a growing congregation. On 26 December 1863, the Feast of St Stephen, Quinn laid the foundation stone for a grand cathedral designed by Benjamin Backhouse. Backhouse 's original design was changed and downsized numerous times over the course of the cathedral 's completion, mainly for economic reasons. In 1927, there was a plan to replace St Stephen 's with a new Holy Name Cathedral to be built in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. However, funding was only sufficient to build the crypt. Eventually the project was abandoned, the crypt demolished and the land sold.
