Summary
[edit]DescriptionBasilica of Saint Mary, Hennepin Avenue and 17th Street, Loring Park, Minneapolis, MN - 51797803843.jpg |
English: Built between 1907 and 1914, this Beaux Arts-style Cathedral Basilica was designed by Emmanuel L. Masqueray for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. The church replaced the previous Church of the Immaculate Conception, a Gothic Revival-style building located in the Warehouse District, which was condemned and demolished in 1921. The land for the cathedral was donated by wealthy industrialist Lawrence S. Donaldson in 1905, with groundbreaking in 1907, and the cornerstone being laid in 1908. The church was dedicated in 1913, and it opened for services in 1914, while at the time still being known as the Pro-Cathedral and being part of the Immaculate Conception Parish. The church was renamed the Procathedral of Saint Mary in 1921, and the interior decoration was completed in 1925. In 1926, the Cathedral was designated by Pope Pius XI as the first Minor Basilica in the United States, though the building was not formally consecrated until 1941. In 1975, the Basilica was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The church features a granite exterior with a darker Rockville granite base and lighter Vermont granite walls, standing 70 feet tall from the base to the roof of the nave. The front of the church features an entrance with a doric portico with arched openings, columns, a cornice with triglyphs and brackets, and decorative trim elements on top of the portico, below a large circular window flanked by two bell towers with arched openings, bracketed cornices, decorative parapets, and additional doorways at the base. The rear of the church features a square dome above a square tower, featuring nine stained glass windows, copper cladding, a lantern at the top, and a large space home to the cathedral’s altar below, with circular windows to the east and west, and an apse to the rear. Beneath the dome inside the church is a sanctuary with an ornate marble altar topped with a 50-foot-tall marble baldacchino, with an ornate ceiling, arched openings to the nave and apse, and decorative pilasters on the east and west walls. The nave features an ornate arched ceiling with intricate trim, large stained glass windows, arched openings to the low aisles on either side, and rows of wooden benches. During the unrest and riots following the killing of George Floyd by members of the Minneapolis Police Department in 2020, an attempt was made to set the cathedral on fire with accelerant being poured on several pews, which resulted in damage to the nave, however, the attempt was unsuccessful. Though the co-Cathedral of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, the church is also presently utilized as a music venue, with several musical ensembles performing within the building. The cathedral functions as an anchor for the northwest corner of the Loring Park section of Minneapolis. |
