St. Colman's Cathedral, Dromore, Co. Down, [Ireland], 1873. 'We give an Illustration of St. Colman's Roman Catholic church, Dromore. This building was commenced in 1871. Its architectural style is an adaptation from the early French phase of Gothic...This church is worthy of attention as perhaps the only one in Ireland that ever was entirely completed before its consecration, even to the artistic ornaments and furniture, which are too often left over for years...The church has already cost about £10,000, and this sum (all paid) has been collected by the exertions of the priest of the parish, the Rev. William M'Cartan. The architect who designed the building, and superintended its construction and perfect completion, is Mr. Timothy Hevey, F.R.I.A.I., Belfast; the contractors were Messrs. H. and J. Martin, also of Belfast. It is intended to proceed at once with the erection of a parochial residence on a scale commensurate with the church. The site is presented by Mr. James Quin, of the Palace, Dromore'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
