St Ann's Academy
(Attractions & Activities - Sightseeing)
835 Humboldt St, Victoria  V8V 4W8 • 250-953-8828
Distance: ~368 m away from The Fairmont Empress
        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.
