Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, Catholic cathedral in downtown Milwaukee, United States.
The Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist features neoclassical architecture with grand columns, cream city brick walls, and a prominent tower visible from Cathedral Square Park.
Built in 1847 with funds raised by Archbishop John Henni, the cathedral underwent reconstruction after a severe fire in 1935 that left only the tower standing.
The cathedral contains thirteen hand-cut stained glass windows created by T.C. Esser Company and designed by Erhardt Stoettner, displaying religious artistry and craftsmanship.
Located at 812 North Jackson Street, the cathedral offers daily Mass services, guided tours, and maintains a Wednesday Concert Series open to the public.
The 2002 renovation introduced a fiberglass crucifix by Italian sculptors Arnaldo Pomodoro and Giuseppe Maraniell, replacing the traditional High Altar and Baldacchino.
