details have been wasted upon it, while its little bell- 
steeple, goodly-shaped, rests most comfortable on its high 
pitched roof. 
Some very fair gothic treatment peeps out in the 
school house attached to the late Training College. The 
school hall used as the elementary school attached to 
the Catholic Cathedral, and once used for holier purposes, 
is a truthful bit of good gothic architecture with its 
well designed open roof of champered timber. The 
shingling at the east end shows how well shingling 
work and Gothic work combine. A rather pretty piece 
of art theft was, we believe, knowingly perpetrated some 
14 years ago when the Italian belfry, minus the bell, was 
put upon the unpretending tower of Smith's Church on 
the Brickdam. 
There are many church, chapel and school buildings 
claiming possibly more critical notice than praise ; 
though of course having a few good points here and there 
to recommend, though certainly nothing to redeem 
them ; viz., the shingle steeple of St. Andrew's Church 
with three pretty Gothic louvre windows just below are 
good in their way ; the shy-looking Byzantine cross 
upon a strange-looking church in Charlestown, (once 
in possession of a telescopic tower) is good, but too small 
for obvious reasons, and more fit to grace a tombstone. 
But sufficient has been said for the present to shew 
that we have not very much of either civil or ecclesiastical 
art in Georgetown to point at, or too much originality 
in our buildings to be proud of. For encouragement 
sake however we may console ourselves with the thought 
that more art strides have been made amongst us during 
the last few years than were made for many years
