Christ Church Cathedral is a historic church at 955 Main Street in Hartford, Connecticut. It is a basically rectangular brownstone structure, with a square tower centered at its eastern end. The main facade is divided into three sections by the tower, each of which has a doorway set in a two-story Gothic-arched recess, with a window above. The sides are five bays deep, with buttresses separating Gothic-arched windows, and brownstone finials at intervals along the roof line. The finial details are repeated at the top of the tower, which is surrounded by a low balustrade.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Christ Church )〕 The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.〔(Contributions to the history of Christ church, Hartford, Volume 1 ) (Belknap & Warfield, 1895)〕 Although the church was constructed over a long period of time (it was begun in 1823, but the tower was not completed until 1839), the initial design was by Ithiel Town; it is one of the nation's earliest Gothic churches.〔 ==See also== *Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut *Richard Thomas Nolan *National Register of Historic Places listings in Hartford, Connecticut 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christ Church Cathedral (Hartford, Connecticut)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
