Fans of Gothic architecture will not want
to miss this fine example of the style, complete with a belfry tower flanked by
gargoyles. The church's most impressive feature, however, is found inside behind
the altar, an area graced by intricate carved screens called reredos made of
stone from France. It was sculpted
in the studios of Harry Hems at Exeter, England, weighs 160 tons, and was
dedicated in 1911.
Parishioners held the first service in this church on Christmas Day of 1867. It
is the seat of the oldest Episcopal parish to be established west of the
Mississippi River. The Cathedral is a National Historic Landmark and is listed
in the National Register of Historic Places. It was
designed by Leopold Eidlitz of New York in
the 14th century Early English Decorated Style. Attached to the Cathedral is the
Bishop Tuttle Memorial Building, a five-story structure that includes diocesan
offices.
