"Founded in 1857 by Bishop John Thomas Mullock, St. Bonaventure's College was the first collegiate school for middle-class Roman Catholic boys in St. John's," and was "designed in the Classical Revival-style with Gothic elements by local architect Jonas Barter." Today, "St. Bonaventure's College remains one of the most visible and well-known educational facilities in St. John's." source
