St. Patrick’s Cathedral is one of the masterpieces of famed 19th-century architect James Renwick.  His design for the cathedral exemplifies once-popular Gothic Revivalism in America.  The building is made of white marble from New York and Massachusetts and contains alters designed by the Tiffany Company.  The cathedral took 20 years to complete.
