St. Albans Anglican Church is an Anglican church in the Sandy Hill neighbourhood of Ottawa, Canada. It is Ottawa's oldest surviving church building and one of its most historic. ==History== St. Alban’s started in Sandy Hill in 1865. The original Gothic Revival design for the church was done in 1866 by Thomas Fuller, who also designed Canada's original Parliament Buildings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dictionaryofarchitectsincanada.org/architects/view/1578 )〕 The cornerstone of the church was laid on May 9, 1867. Construction of the church began in 1867 and it was completed in 1868. The chancel and vestry were completed by King McCord Arnoldi (1843–1904). 1876-77 〔Ottawa Citizen, 8 Nov. 1867, 3, descrip.; 17 July 1876, 1, t.c.; Free Press (), 9 Feb. 1877, 4, descrip.; A. Davidson, Annals of the Parish of St. Alban the Martyr, Ottawa 1865-1942, (8-9) (King McCord Arnoldi )〕 However, the location of the church, at the corner of King Edward and Daly (454 King Edward Avenue), is on a steep hill and Fuller's elaborate plans had to be greatly scaled back. The church was attended by many of Canada's early political leaders, including Sir John A. Macdonald. The church rectory was designed in 1898 by Charles Penruddocke William Kivas Band of Band, Burrit & Meredith.〔(Charles Penruddocke William Kivas Band )〕 The church's namesake is Saint Alban, who was the first British Christian martyr. He was martyred for "harbouring and sheltering the oppressed and terrified" (Michael W. Newton, ''The Parish of St. Alban the Martyr, Ottawa 1865-1877''). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St. Alban's Anglican Church (Ottawa)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
