Description




Designed by architect James Renwick Jr. and opened in 1879 after more than two decades of construction, the cathedral stands directly opposite Rockefeller Center with seating for roughly 2,400 worshippers. Inside, the soaring nave houses a massive 7,855-pipe Gallery Organ. As an active church, the space remains freely open to walk through, light a candle, or pause for quiet reflection.
