windows; parapet with weathered coping. The east gable end to Old Quebec
Street is flanked by similar buttresses with 2 buttresses under large east

the aisle parapet a flying buttress springs from right hand gabled bell
tower with vestry entrance at its foot. Railings to street run between
buttress piers with gable caps. Steep pitched roof with slender,
copper-clad fleche with gablets to centre of ridge. Vaulted interior has
lofty, slender shafted arcade and triforium on north side; gilt altar by
