St. Michael's Cathedral is situated in the heart of Toronto. Since it's consecration in 1848, the cream-coloured brick structure has darkened with age and acquired a tower, a graceful steeple and its clear panes have given way to stained-glass works of art.

St. Michaels Cathedral is made up of three major components. The Cathedral itself with a gross floor area of 25,803 square feet, the St. John's Chapel with a gross floor area of 4, 036 square feet and the three-storey rectory with a gross floor area of 23,249 square feet.

The Cathedral's architect was William Thomas, who was much influenced by Jon Elmsley's Anglican antecedents and is one of the greatest examples of fourteenth-century Gothic. St. Michael's was endowed with its present tower and steeple at the beginning of Confederation. Reflecting the spirit of the times, it was conceived as an ecumenical project with financial contributions from many leading citizens including George Brown. Several major renovations and changes have been carried out since the redecorating of the interior was completed in the 1890s.
