Cathedral Building, Gothic Revival skyscraper in Downtown Oakland, United States.

The Cathedral Building exhibits Gothic Revival elements with terracotta spires and a triangular form at the intersection of Telegraph Avenue and Broadway.

Constructed in 1913 under architect Benjamin Geer McDougall's direction, this structure stands as the first Gothic Revival skyscraper west of the Mississippi River.

The north wall features a large mural created by artist Zio Ziegler in 2015 to commemorate the United Nations Charter signing.

The building contains residential lofts with direct elevator access, numerous windows for natural light, and proximity to public transportation options.

The structure earned the nickname 'Wedding Cake' due to its layered appearance and triangular shape, similar to New York's Flatiron Building.

Location: California
