Description

Flanked by the Bishop's Palace to the west, and the church blocks to the east, St. Peter's Rectory is at the hub of a nineteenth century residential district in the City of Peterborough. A two storey dwelling with a Mansard roof, it is recognized for its heritage value by the City of Peterborough Bylaw 1978-178.

Valeur patrimoniale

The heritage value of the St. Peter's Rectory resides in its association with the Cathedral of St. Peters in Chains. Built between 1860-1865, the house was originally the home of John J. Hall for over 20 years before becoming the rectory for the Cathedral of St. Peter in Chains in 1887. As the rectory for the Cathedral, it has served as the primary residence for many of the church leaders important to Roman Catholic worship in Peterborough and the surrounding community since the mid-nineteenth century, and still serves as a rectory today.
