Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine

1047 Amsterdam Avenue at 112th Street, New York, NY 10025

The Cathedral of St. John the Divine is the largest cathedral in the world built stone-to-stone without steel beams. Its cornerstone was laid in 1892, but the building is still unfinished. On the south side, a neoclassical building from the Leake and Watts Orphan Asylum is incorporated into the cathedral. The surrounding grounds, called The Close, are also open to the public and home to roaming peacocks, whose cries often compete with the Amsterdam Avenue traffic. The Cathedral has been host to international speakers and events in addition to art exhibitions and musical performances.
