Canadian neo-Gothic

Anglican Church of St Peter & St John (1883) - Baddeck, Nova Scotia.

 

One of only four remaining churches designed by Reverend Simon Gibbons, Canada's first Inuit priest. It is believed that Gibbons first came into contact with the Cambridge Camden Society while building St Peter & St John's. It was designated a Provincially Registered Property under the Heritage Property Act in 1990 due to its connection to Gibbons and because it best exemplifies the style of the Cambridge Camden Society which advocated a return to simple Medieval styles. Typical of neo-Gothic architecture, the wooden church features buttresses, pointed arch windows, and a round-headed window on the east elevation.
