Newfoundland -- View of Heart's Content, Showing Cable Terrace and the Steamship "Edinburgh". Taken from Canadian Illustrated News Vanished Buildings “It was sad to see the Cable Terrace, Company Houses and others... the Hospital, Ayre & Son’s Store and others torn down.The Railway tracks were removed in 1939. The beautiful Church of England in disrepair. This church had a fabulous pipe organ, stained glass window over the altar, and in the chapel. It seated 1,000 and in the past was called “The Cathedral Church of the Outports.”[1] This stone wall is located on Main Road of Heart’s Content, adjacent to the Anglican Cemetery. Ted Rowe explains. “My guess is that the wall was built in 1868, when the land was prepared for building Cable Terrace, the cable company staff house which was located where the Royal Bank is now. Construction on the building started in 1868 and it opened in 1869. The elevation of the churchyard was higher than the building, suggesting that a wall was in place.[2] |
