First view of the Cathedral.
“The Washington National Cathedral, officially named the Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, is a cathedral of the Episcopal Church… Of neogothic design, it is the sixth largest cathedral in the world, the second largest in the United States (all I could find is that St Patrick’s in NY is the largest Catholic cathedral).
Construction began on September 29, 1907, when the foundation stone was laid in the presence of President Theodore Roosevelt and a crowd of more than 20,000, and ended 83 years later when the last finial was placed in the presence of President George H. W. Bush in 1990.”
