It's a couple of minutes' walk west from Confederation Park to Kingston's finest limestone building, the Anglican Cathedral of St George. Dating from the 1820s, the graceful lines of the cathedral, with its Neoclassical portico and dainty domes, are deceptively uniform, for the church was remodelled on several occasions, notably after severe fire damage in 1899. The capacious interior holds some delightful Tiffany stained-glass windows and, attached to the wall of the nave, a plain memorial to Molly Brant (1736–97), a Mohawk leader and sister of Joseph Brant. From the cathedral, it's a brief stroll to the main commercial drag, Princess Street, whose assorted shops, offices and cafés stretch up from the lakeshore.
