Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Episcopal cathedral in Morningside Heights, Manhattan, US.
The Cathedral of St. John the Divine stretches 601 feet in length and rises 177 feet high, accommodating up to 8,600 people within its walls.
Construction began in 1892 under architects Heins & LaFarge with a Byzantine-Romanesque design, later shifting to Gothic Revival style under Cram & Ferguson in 1909.
The Cathedral maintains a Poets' Corner dedicated to American literary figures, including Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, and Edgar Allan Poe among its honorees.
