Inscription on the plaque:

St. Brigid's Church

Ottawa
1889-1890

This limestone church was constructed
following the decision of local Irish
Catholics to establish their own place of
worship. Ottawa architect John R. Bowes
designed the church in an eclectic Victorian
style that combines Gothic Revival with Neo-
Hiberno Romanesque. A distinguishing
feature is the different height of the two
towers. The church is a monument to the
early settlement of Lowertown by the
Irish Catholic working class.

Inscription sur la plaque:

L'église St. Brigid

L'église en pierre calcaire a été construite
après que les Irlandais catholique eurent
décidé de fonder leur propre lieu de culte.
L'église a été conçue par l'architecte John R.
Bowes, dans un style victorien éclectique qui
présente un mariage des styles néo-gothique et
néo-hiberno-roman. La façade principal a
comme particularité de compter deux clochers
de hauteur différente. L'église démontre
le peuplement précoce de la Basse-Ville par des
Irlandais catholiques de la classe ouvrière.
