About this postcard

St. Patrick's Cathedral fills the view with its twin Gothic Revival spires, rose window, and ornate stone facade against a blue sky. Completed in 1879 to designs by James Renwick Jr., the cathedral stands on Fifth Avenue at 50th Street and serves as the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York. Its Fifth Avenue frontage placed it along one of the city's most prominent thoroughfares, and the caption describes it as the leading Catholic church in New York City and one of the grandest cathedrals in the world.
