Descrição

Of the two great domes that overlook downtown St. Paul and the Mississippi River Valley, Cass Gilbert’s State Capitol is the smaller and brighter one. The larger, darker dome, set on the higher hill like a mountain on top of a mountain, belongs to the fourth cathedral of the archdiocese and is primarily the work of architect Emmanuel Louis Masqueray and his powerful patron, Archbishop John Ireland. The cathedral and the City of St. Paul were bound together from their origins.

The Cathedral of Saint Paul is blessed with two pipe organs, a 1927 Skinner in the Sanctuary and a 1963 Aeolian-Skinner in the gallery, the latter renovated and expanded by Quimby Pipe
