Description
This beautiful cathedral is the centerpiece of one of the largest Catholic populations in North America. The foundation was dedicated June 29, 1846 and construction was finished in 1864. The Italian Renaissance style, with its beautiful baldachino dome over the altar, is a prime example of the style of the time. This is the oldest building on the Parkway-which makes sense, since the Parkway was not constructed until 1925.
