Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Springfield, Illinois)

The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception is the seat of the Catholic Diocese of Springfield in Illinois. The cathedral, for which the cornerstone was laid on August 14, 1927, was dedicated on October 14, 1928. The cathedral complex is built in a modified Greek Revival architectural style.
==Description==

The cathedral was built and consecrated under the leadership of James Aloysius Griffin, fourth bishop of the diocese - but the first bishop to be based in the state capital city, Springfield (the diocese had previously been seated in Quincy, Illinois and then in Alton, Illinois).〔
The cathedral complex is faced with ''Mankato stone'', also called "Mankato Kasota stone," a golden limestone quarried in Mankato, Minnesota. Like many cathedral complexes, it also contains working space for the bishop and staff. An elementary school building forms the southern component of the complex. The cathedral itself is consecrated to the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary, and is under the patronage of the Blessed Mother.〔
The cathedral is the second building in Springfield to be consecrated to the Immaculate Conception, the first being a Catholic church in use from 1858 until 1928. When the seat of the diocese was moved to Springfield in 1923, the diocese needed a larger building to serve as cathedral space. After completion of the cathedral, the nearby Lincoln-era church was de-consecrated and removed.〔
The cathedral complex's official address is 524 East Lawrence Avenue in Springfield, Illinois.
