I took a little time off from work recently to photograph The Cathedral of the Madeleine church with a friend. As you can see the inside is beautiful, the colors and detail are amazing. It was a bit challenging photographing this beautiful building but the results were worth it. I had a hard time deciding which photos to post so I will be posting some of my favorites later this week.
History of the Church
Under the leadership of the Right Reverend Lawrence Scanlan (1843 - 1915), the first bishop of Salt Lake, the construction of The Cathedral of the Madeleine was begun in the year 1900 and completed in 1909. On August 15 of that year, the cathedral was dedicated by Cardinal James Gibbons of Baltimore. The architects were Carl M. Newhausen and Bernard O. Mecklenburg. The cathedral combines a predominately Romanesque exterior with a Gothic interior. The property on which the cathedral sits was purchased in 1890 for $35,000. The cost of the cathedral construction itself was $344,000.
