Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis - a photo on Flickriver

            The Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis, also known as the Saint Louis Cathedral, was completed in 1914. It is the mother church of the Archdiocese of St. Louis and the seat of its archbishop. The cathedral was designated a basilica by Pope John Paul II in 1997. It is located at 4431 Lindell Blvd.
 
The cathedral was built as a replacement for the previous Cathedral of St. Louis located along the Mississippi River. Although workers began clearing ground for the building in 1907, the dedication and first mass did not take place until 1914, 

The architecture firm of Barnett, Haynes & Barnett was selected, and Thomas P. Barnett led the design team for the project. In 1912, installation of mosaics in the interior began. Completed in 1988, the mosaics collectively contain 41.5 million glass tesserae pieces in more than 7,000 colors. Covering 83,000 square feet, it is the largest mosaic collection in the world outside Russia. Although the mosaics in the side chapels and sanctuary walls were designed and installed by Tiffany Studios, the mosaics in the main cathedral areas were designed by August Oetken.
