Description:
When the first section of this building was constructed in 1871, it was the tallest masonry structure in the city, and pre-dated Victoria's incorporation. St. Ann's served as the area's first Roman Catholic Church, and it has been a girl's school and convent. Today the restored building mostly houses government offices, but the chapel, built in 1858, is still open for public viewing.
