St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral
The English Gothic composition of Onondaga limestone for St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral was designed by Henry Dudley of New York. The Cathedral, at the corner of Fayette and Montgomery Streets, was erected in 1885, and is the home of an Episcopal congregation founded in 1826. The Cathedral culminates in a 225-foot stone spire topped by a seven-foot cross. Noteworthy are the Tiffany-style windows depicting the Annunciation; a large chancel window illustrating St. Paul preaching to the Athenians; and a signed Tiffany window on the South Aisle. St. Paul's offers a range of services and educational and music programs including special concerts and noontime Lenten recitals. Various community groups meet regularly at the Cathedral. In addition, the Cathedral's Samaritan Center is a food program for the hungry that operates daily, serving the needy people in the community.
Designed by Henry Dudley of New York, the Cathedral is the third home of an Episcopal congregation founded in 1826. This beautifully severe, English Gothic composition of Onondaga limestone culminates in a 225' stone spire with a 7' cross at the top. The mullion windows have pointed arches, jambs and tracery of Ohio sandstone. The Tiffany style window (1905) depicts the Annunciation, a large chancel window illustrates St. Paul preaching to the Athenians and a signed Tiffany window is on the South Aisle. This church has had little alteration from it's original design and was designated a cathedral in 1972.
