The cathedral was constructed starting in 1858 to accommodate the growing Archdiocese of New York & to replace St. Patrick's Old Cathedral. Work was halted in the early 1860s during the American Civil War; the cathedral was completed in 1878 & dedicated on May 25, 1879. The archbishop's house & rectory were added in the early 1880s, both designed by James Renwick Jr., & the spires were added in 1888. A Lady chapel designed by Charles T. Mathews was constructed from 1901 to 1906. The cathedral was consecrated on October 5, 1910, after all its debt had been paid off. Extensive restorations of the cathedral were conducted several times, including in the 1940s, 1970s, & 2010s.
