  • The cathedral is an imposing building: black with a high main tower and dozens of finials on the tower and along the roof. It is a classic example of Gothic architecture, built in 1876 as a memorial to Alexander Stewart, the founder of Garden City. The cathedral is listed on the National and New York Registers of Historic Places.
