}} St. Paul's Cathedral is the cathedral of the Episcopal Diocese of Western New York and a landmark of downtown Buffalo, New York. The church sits on an a triangular lot bounded by Church St., Pearl St., Erie St., and Main St. ==History== In 1848, vestrymen of St. Paul's in Buffalo formed a building committee to erect a new stone church. Being familiar with architect Richard Upjohn’s work through his recently completed Trinity Church in New York City, they desired no other architect for the job, and immediately engaged Upjohn for the commission. Major structural events:〔; ''See also:'' 〕 *1849: construction started. *1851: the cathedral was dedicated/consecrated. *1870: the spires on top of the two towers were finished. *1888: a fire caused by a natural gas explosion nearly destroyed the building. *1890: the church reopened after undergoing a renovation overseen by Robert W. Gibson. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral in 1973. In 1987, the NRHP listing was revised as "St. Paul's Cathedral (Buffalo)" 〔A new NRHP reference number was issued. The purpose of revision is not specifically known in this case, but NRHP listings are often revised to reflect boundary changes.〕 and the property was further declared a U.S. National Historic Landmark.〔〔 and 〕 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「St. Paul's Cathedral (Buffalo, New York)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
