Guyana Heritage Society launches new publication on Brickdam Cathedral
The Guyana Heritage Society yesterday launched a new publication, “From Ashes to Ferro-Concrete:
History
A History of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception 1924-2014”.
The Society continues to lead the way in preserving Guyana’s heritage, with the launch of a new publication authored by Dr. Joanne Collins-Gonsalves.
Gonsalves tells the story of one of Guyana’s most historic buildings, and coincides with the celebration of the Cathedral’s 100th anniversary. Popularly known as the Brickdam Cathedral, the structure was one of the first steel reinforced concrete buildings constructed in what was then British Guiana.
This publication is the latest launched by the Society, and follows a long list of rare and out-of-print books to be reprinted by the GHS, such as “The Twelve Views in the Interior of Guiana” by Robert Schomburgk, Webber’s “Centenary history and handbook of British Guiana”, Rodway’s “Story of Georgetown”, and “The History of Victoria Village” by William Arno.
The Guyana Heritage Society is a non-governmental organization open to all persons interested in the promotion and preservation of Guyana’s heritage. The book is available for purchase from the Society for $3,800.
