St. Patrick’s Cathedral

St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City is a beautiful structure located on Fifth Avenue between 50th and 51st Streets in Manhattan.

The cornerstone was laid in 1858, with construction pausing during the Civil War and resuming in 1865.

The cathedral was officially completed in 1878 and dedicated in 1879.

It was designed by architect James Renwick Jr. (1818-1895) and serves as the seat of the Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York.

The cathedral is constructed primarily of white marble and rises to a height of 330 feet at its twin spires.

It covers an entire city block and can accommodate over 2,000 worshippers.

The interior includes intricate stained glass windows, a massive altar, and a large pipe organ.

The building’s design includes pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses providing structural support while allowing for the expansive use of windows.

At 7.30am, Captain Edward J. Smith boards Titanic with full crew. Third class passengers embarked at 9.30, followed by second and first class. Titanic sets sail from Southampton at noon heading for Cherbourg. Even before she leaves the harbour, there was disarray.

St. Patrick's Cathedral,New York City

St. Patrick's Cathedral is a Catholic cathedral in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City. It is the seat of the Archbishop of New York as well as a parish church. The cathedral occupies a city block bounded by Fifth Avenue, Madison Avenue, 50th Street, and 51st Street, directly across from Rockefeller Center. Designed by James Renwick Jr., it is the largest Gothic Revival Catholic cathedral in North America.

The cathedral was constructed starting in 1858 to accommodate the growing Archdiocese of New York and to replace St. Patrick's Old Cathedral. Work was halted in the early 1860s during the American Civil War; the cathedral was completed in 1878 and dedicated on May 25, 1879. The archbishop's house and rectory were added in the early 1880s, both designed by James Renwick Jr., and the spires were added in 1888. A Lady chapel designed by Charles T. Mathews was constructed from 1901 to 1906. The cathedral was consecrated on October 5, 1910, after all its debt had been paid off. Extensive restorations of the cathedral were conducted several times, including in the 1940s, 1970s, and 2010s.
