Lonely Planet review

This is the largest place of worship in the USA - and it's not finished. On completion, the 183m (601ft)-long Episcopal cathedral will rank as the third-largest church in the world (after St Peter's Basilica in Rome, and Our Lady of Peace at Yamoussoukro in Côte d'Ivoire). A design highlight is the Great Rose Window, America's largest stained-glass window.

The Great Organ, which dates from 1911, currently awaits cleaning after a devastating fire in 2001 caused smoke damage that silenced the instrument.
