Experience It! Washington National Cathedral
The Cathedral Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, better known as the Washington
National Cathedral, has had a prominent place in Washington events since its
incorporation in 1893. The construction of the current building began in
September 1907, with President Theodore Roosevelt in attendance for the
ceremony. Since then, the cathedral has been host to state funerals, inauguration
masses, national memorial services, and countless other national
commemorations and celebrations. Construction of the church was finally
completed in 1990, taking an incredible 83 years to finish – making it the
longest-running construction project in Washington, D.C.
Today, visitors marvel at the beautiful Indiana limestone facades and carvings, as
well as the magnificent Great Organ that has been redesigned and expanded
through the years to meet the needs of the active congregation and its
breathtaking cathedral.
