St. Francis of Assisi Cathedral, Gothic Revival cathedral in Metuchen, United States.
The limestone walls and marble wainscoting of St. Francis of Assisi Cathedral create an interior that extends across three levels with oak woodwork details throughout the space.
The cathedral emerged from a small frame mission church built in 1871, survived two fires, and received its cathedral status when the Diocese of Metuchen formed in 1981.
The cathedral hosts regular liturgical ceremonies, accommodating up to 1,000 people in its main hall adorned with Italian marble altars and a bronze crucifix.
Located at 32 Elm Avenue in Metuchen, New Jersey, the cathedral maintains regular mass schedules and provides sacramental services for the local Catholic community.
The cathedral's terrazzo flooring, combined with pointed arches and detailed stonework, represents a modern interpretation of Gothic Revival architecture completed in 1963.
