Cathedral of Saint John the Divine (New York)

Cathedral of Saint John the Divine. The cathedral of the Episcopal Diocese of New York. The cathedral is an unfinished building, with only two-thirds of the proposed building completed, due to several major stylistic changes, work interruptions, and unstable ground on the site. The original design, in the Byzantine Revival and Romanesque Revival styles, began construction in 1892.

Despite being incomplete, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine is the world’s sixth-largest church by area and either the largest or second-largest Anglican cathedral. Since the cathedral’s interior is so large, it has been used for hundreds of events and art exhibitions. In addition, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine has been involved in various advocacy initiatives throughout its history.
