    Does this pay to finish the bell towers?

  2. Weren’t these building built many years ago?

  3. I wish the Episcopal Church would spend the money and finish this beautiful cathedral. It is a huge tourist attraction.

  4. I will never understand how the Diocese thought this was a good idea. The Cathedral is ruined permanently.

    • Maybe the idea is in the back of their mind that if and when the cathedral is eventually finished the apartment buildings would be deconstructed and removed off the grounds. Realistically we’re looking at another 50-75 years here though… if ever.

    The cathedral cannot be finished as intended as the ground is too weak to support the weight of a central tower–the bedrock is not there as was imagined. The north transept is now out of the picture. The cathedral is trying to figure out ways to “finish” the building as major construction is unlikely to happen again given the declining membership.

    • “As intended” has a pretty blurry meaning considering historically the plans for the cathedral have changed several times. Yes the geologic conditions are strange under the cathedral and ground water, possibly fed by underground springs, has been a problem for 120+ years. All that said the foundation does sit on bedrock and it’s unclear whether from an engineering standpoint the massive center tower is impossible to build especially with modern techniques.

      A very good Times article from last year:

  6. Pressure should be placed on the Episcopal Church to finish this Cathedral in some fashion.

    • Apparently nearly every turn of the century tycoon and wealthy family donated to the cathedral’s construction. It may take a civic fundraising undertaking to raise the amount of money it would need to finish in some grand manner, whether exactly as originally envisioned or not. Whether such a call of support would be something attractive enough of the cities very wealthy or if it’s remotely appropriate for the city to be involved in it’s organization are fair questions.
