Holy_Name_Cathedral,_Brisbane

The Holy Name Cathedral was a planned but never-built Roman Catholic cathedral for the city of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Designed by Hennessy, Hennessy & Co, initially in an English Baroque style inspired by St Paul's in London, it was intended to have been the largest church building of any Christian denomination in the Southern Hemisphere. James Duhig, the Archbishop of Brisbane, was the chief proponent of the project.
First designed in 1925, building began in 1927 and in the 1930s services were held in the crypt chapel on the site, the only part to be built. No further construction took place, and with Duhig's death in 1965 the project lost its impetus, but was not formally abandoned until the 1970s. The Archdiocese sold the site to property developers in 1985, the crypt was demolished and an apartment complex was built on the site. The perimeter wall along Ann Street and part of Gotha Street are all that remain, and were listed on the Queensland Heritage Register in 1992.
