Architecture

Holy Family Cathedral is a historic church completed in 1914. It borrows architectural elements from French, English, and American churches, and features stately columns, soaring vaults, and richly detailed stencils.

The Cathedral’s tall central spire is somewhat unusual in Gothic architecture. Most traditional Gothic churches have two large spires over the front doors. Holy Family’s central tower is considerably larger that the ones atop other classic churches.

The church is 251 feet tall. The exterior measures 200 feet along the nave and apse. The nave is 76 feet wide and the transept is 96 feet across.
