On Saturday Sketch NYC's Most Impressive Cathedral.
In a city filled with skyscrapers, the Cathedral impresses with sheer size. Its detailed facade towers over Amsterdam Avenue, and the building extends a full avenue block to Morningside Drive. The Cathedral is more than 120 years old, and remains unfinished.
Despite incomplete construction, it is the largest cathedral in the world, making it a global landmark. The Statue of Liberty could easily be tucked under the church's soaring dome.

Some of the modern construction includes this amazing capital above one of the massed columns surrounding one of the formal entrances on the West Front.
