1925

Manhattan: Amsterdam Avenue - Cathedral Parkway - 113th Street

INTERIOR OF THE CATHEDRAL OF SAINT JOHN THE DIVINE AS NOW IN USE. This shows the choir and altar, and a portion of the crossing. The eight massive pillars around the altar are of Maine granite 54 feet high, each composed of only two pieces. Present plans call for replacing the semi-dome with a much higher structural roof. There would thus be another series of windows, 120 feet from the floor. Interior of the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, looking east toward the High Altar. The photograph shows the great pillars which stand about the Sanctuary. Feb. 1925 The Review of Reviews.
