Cathedral of Saint Joseph
Cathedral of Saint Joseph, Catholic co-cathedral in Wheeling, United States.
The limestone Cathedral of Saint Joseph exhibits Romanesque Revival design with a 148-foot dome and rounded arches along its exterior walls.
The cathedral structure, completed in 1926 after a fire destroyed the previous building, replaced the original 1822 parish that served Wheeling's Catholic community.
The interior features extensive frescoes by Felix Lieftuchter, incorporating Byzantine influences and depicting Christ Enthroned with religious figures in the apse.
The cathedral offers Sunday Mass at 8:00 AM and 10:30 AM, with reconciliation services available on Fridays from 11:15 AM to 11:50 AM.
The cathedral's dome draws inspiration from Florence's Duomo, while its 500 ceiling panels display detailed trompe l'oeil artistry.
