Cathedral of Saint John the Divine

The Cathedral of St. John the Divine, officially the Cathedral Church of Saint John: The Great Divine in the City and Diocese of New York, is the cathedral of the Episcopal Diocese of New York. It is located in New York City on Amsterdam Avenue between West 110th Street and 113th Street in Manhattan's Morningside Heights neighborhood.
Designed in 1888 and begun in 1892, the cathedral has undergone radical stylistic changes and the interruption of the two World Wars. Originally designed in the Byzantine Revival-Romanesque Revival styles, the plan was changed after 1909 to a Gothic Revival design.〔〔 After a large fire on December 18, 2001, it was closed for repairs and reopened in November 2008.〔 It remains unfinished, with construction and restoration a continuing process.〔
〕 As a result, it is often nicknamed ''St. John the Unfinished''.〔Peter W. Williams, ''Houses of God: Region, Religion, and Architecture in the United States'', University of Illinois Press, 2000, p. 68, ''Guinness Book of World Records'', 1990 p. 267; William R. Hutchison, "Houses of God", ''Church History'' 67.4 (December 1998), pp. 807-809.; "St. John the Unfinished", ''National Review'', February 24, 1997; "Annals of St. John the Unfinished", ''The New York Times'', November 20, 1994.〕
There is a dispute about whether this cathedral or Liverpool Cathedral is the world's largest Anglican cathedral and church.〔The title depends on which dimensions are counted. For a discussion on the matter of size, see Quirk, Howard E., ''The Living Cathedral: St. John the Divine: A History and Guide'' (New York: The Crossroad Publishing Co., 1993), p. 15-16.〕 It is also the fourth largest Christian church in the world.〔 The interior covers , spanning a length of 601 ft (183.2 meters) and height 232 ft (70.7 meters). The interior height of the nave is 124 feet (37.8 meters).
The cathedral houses one of the nation's premiere textile conservation laboratories to conserve the cathedral's textiles, including the Barberini tapestries to cartoons by Raphael. The laboratory also conserves tapestries, needlepoint, upholstery, costumes, and other textiles for its clients.〔http://www.stjohndivine.org/about/textile-conservation-lab〕
