St. Mary's Cathedral was built in Gothic style and opened in October 1848. Inside there are 16 massive pillars and its steeple rises 242 feet.
It was originally designed by architect James R. Bowes and construction began in 1842. It was greatly enlarged in 1889 with a design by Joseph Connolly. Extensive structural renovations were performed between 1987 and 1995, including rebuilding much of the north wall and replacing the 50-year-old asbestos roof (itself a replacement of the original tin roof) with slate tiles. The renovations cost approximately $7,000,000.
