87. The BLESSED SACRAMENT CATHEDRAL (Roman Catholic), Woodward and Belmont Aves., in the French Gothic style, designed by Henry A. Walsh of Cleveland, was designated the Cathedral Church of the newly created Archdiocese of Detroit in 1938. Its walls are partly surfaced with rock-faced random limestone. Other portions, such as the fine central entrance bay with the portal surmounted by a gallery and rose window, the buttresses, parapets, and the high and effective clerestory, are of cut limestone. The towers and the nave facade are incomplete. A graceful spire of lead rises from the junction of the nave and transept. Marble and stone are used in the vaulted interior, which is furnished with carved oak and illuminated by stained-glass windows. The parish house, harmonizing with the cathedral in material and lines, is immediately south.-Michigan: A Guide to the Wolverine State 1941
This beautiful cathedral is one of the many houses of worship along Detroit's Woodward Avenue. All over 100 years old and worth seeing. This one is the Archdiocese of Detroit cathedral.
