EDITORS COMMENTS
The Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, an architectural masterpiece located in the heart of New York City's Morningside Heights neighborhood, is depicted in this artist's impression of its completed form. The Gothic Revival-style cathedral, dedicated to St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist, is situated on Amsterdam Avenue between West 110th and 113th Streets. Construction on the grand edifice began in 1892, but due to numerous delays and financial challenges, the cathedral remains unfinished to this day. As a result, it has earned the playful nickname "St. John the Unfinished." The cathedral's imposing structure, with its soaring spires and intricate stonework, is a testament to the vision of its designers, including architects Richard Upjohn and Heins & LaFarge. The building's impressive dimensions include a nave that can accommodate over 2,600 worshippers and a total area of 121,000 square feet. Despite its incomplete state, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine is an active place of worship and a popular tourist destination. Visitors come from near and far to marvel at its breathtaking beauty and to experience the peace and tranquility it offers amid the bustling city. The cathedral's ongoing construction and restoration projects continue to reflect the enduring spirit of the community and the dedication of those who seek to complete this architectural marvel.
