Originally built in 1860 but destroyed by fire, the Basilica and Cathedral of St Boniface in Winnipeg's olden French Quarter was reconstructed on a larger scale in 1906. This building was also damaged by fire in 1968 but its impressive stone façade, vestry and external walls were retained and incorporated into the impressive current cathedral which dates from 1972.
