1922: ST. MARY'S CATHEDRAL BEFORE IT HAD A STEEPLE

I BELIEVE THIS PHOTO IS FROM THE 1860's BEFORE THE LOFTY STEEPLE WAS CONSTRUCTED AT ST. MARY'S. DID YOU KNOW THAT EACH BELL WHICH WAS INSTALLED WITHIN THE STEEPLE WAS NAMED FOR A SAINT? SOMEWHERE IN MY MASSIVE FILES IS AN ARTICLE DESCRIBING THE INCREDIBLE TASK OF HOISTING UP HUGE OAK TIMBERS TO BUILD THE STEEPLE AND INSTALL THE BELLS.

CHECK OUT THE DIRT ROAD WHICH IS NORTH WARREN STREET.
