The bronze plaque reads:

"Sts. Peter & Paul's Old Cathedral
"The Old Cathedral stands on the site of a former Church built in 1845. On February 12th 1871, the Foundation Stone was blessed. The building of the Transept, Sanctuary and Tower was begun in 1887. The finished Cathedral was Opened and blessed on the 19th June 1890.
"It was solemnly Consecrated on the Golden Jubilee of Bishop W. Lanigan on the 21st April 1898. The architect was A. Stumbucco. Chas Spadacini supervised the finish.
"The stone is a local greenstone (diorite porphrite) dressed with Marulan sandstone."

It might seem strange, but the website about the historic pipe organ of the Cathedral also has good information, and great internal photos of the Cathedral.
