.....Saint Mary's Cathedral - 2011 Church

From Stereoview circa 1880

.....This was the first cathedral built in Texas and the oldest church that is still extant on the island.
An earlier church occupied the site in 1841, but was damaged by a storm in 1842. Later, in 1845 a gift of 1/2 million bricks from Belgium was used to start construction of the building in 1847. It was dedicated on November 26, 1848. Later, Nicholas Clayton designed the adjacent tower (1876) and in 1884, the two front towers were lengthened to match as well.

St. Mary's Cathedral around 1910
