More information on St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception Cathedral
At one time, the spire of this cathedral was the tallest structure in San Francisco. There may be buildings taller than this cathedral these days, but none offers more San Francisco history. The church foundation is granite cut in China. The exterior is composed of red bricks made in New England and brought around Cape Horn. Inside, the white plaster sanctuary has some nice stained glass and exhibits the ribbed-vault arches typical of neo-gothic architecture. The lighting is kept low, giving the shrines along the walls, lit with indirect spots and votive candles, an ethereal glow. Display cases house a collection of drawings, photographs, and artifacts from St. Marys rich history, including dramatic photos of the devastation caused by the 1906 earthquake and fire.
