Raven L and son William send us more wonderful and very welcomed New York City Greetings. They write: St Patrick's Cathedral on New York's 5th Avenue is the largest decorated gothic style Catholic cathedral in North America. It is 2 acres long and was built in 1858 and founded in 1878. It was once an orphanage school, and is now used for masses, Holiday masses, funerals and buriels. It is known as the Catholic church on New York. St. Patrick's was built or brick and covered by marble for strength. The spires rise 330 feet from street level. The land its built on was purchased in 1810 for $11,000. The architect is James Renwick Jr.
