H&L installed new slate and lead coated copper on the steeple of this historic church building in Toronto.  St. Michael’s Cathedral was consecrated on September 19, 1848, more than 150 years ago. The cornerstone had been laid on May 8, 1845 by Bishop Michael Power, the first Bishop of Toronto, who contracted Typhus and died on October 1, 1847 having ministered to the sick and dying among the great influx of Irish famine immigrants.
