St. Paul Episcopal Cathedral, Cincinnati, Episcopal cathedral in downtown Cincinnati, United States
St. Paul Episcopal Cathedral occupied a site at the corner of Seventh and Plum Streets in downtown Cincinnati, positioned across from Saint Peter in Chains Cathedral. The building functioned as a church for worship and community gatherings before it ceased operation.
The congregation began in 1828 under Rev. Samuel Johnson and merged with St. John's Episcopal Church in 1883 to become the diocesan cathedral. After operating for over a century, the church closed and was demolished in 1937 as the city's priorities shifted.
The cathedral served as a gathering place for the congregation and played a role in Cincinnati's community life. It hosted important social meetings and reflected the significance of this church in the city's religious landscape.
The cathedral's original location no longer exists as the building was demolished in 1937. Visitors today can see a small chapel at nearby Christ Church Cathedral that preserves the St. Paul name and historical memory.
The cathedral hosted the Second Annual Meeting of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union in 1875. This event demonstrated how the church supported social reform movements of the time.
