Parliament railway station is an underground station on the metro network in East Melbourne, Australia. It is one of five stations on the City Loop, which encircles the Melbourne CBD. It opened: January 22, 1983 Architect: Peter McIntyre St Patrick's Cathedral is the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. St Patrick's has the distinction of being both the tallest and, overall, the largest church building in Australia. Although the nave was completed within 10 years, construction proceeded slowly, and was further delayed by the severe depression which hit Melbourne in 1891. Given the size of the Catholic community at the time, the massive bluestone Gothic cathedral was an immense and very expensive undertaking, and there were long delays while funds were raised. St Patrick's was one of the two largest churches brought to substantial completion anywhere in the world in the 19th century. The other is St Patrick's Cathedral, New York, United States. Address: 1 Cathedral Pl, East Melbourne VIC Opened: 1939 Architectural style: Gothic Revival architecture Height: 105 m Architect: William Wardell - commissioned in 1858
