Location: 1400 Washington Street, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Elkus Manfredi Architects designed the renovation of the Cathedral of the Holy Cross to bring new life to its vast interior. Through a host of improvements in the revitalized sanctuary and nave and newly illuminated stained glass, this unifying renovation reinvigorates the Cathedral as a beacon of support in the community.

Boston?s Cathedral of the Holy Cross was originally consecrated in 1875 and built in the Gothic Revival style using local Roxbury puddingstone and gray limestone trim. The seat of the Archdiocese of Boston and the largest Catholic church in New England, the Cathedral lacked a comprehensive interior renovation in decades and suffered from deferred maintenance and infrastructure problems – photo © Robert Benson Originally consecrated in 1875 and built in the Gothic Revival style using local Roxbury puddingstone and gray limestone trim, the Cathedral of the Holy Cross measures 364 feet long, 90 feet wide, and 120 feet high from the finished basement floor to the ridge of the nave attic.
