Exterior view showing the Roman-Corinthian-style Catholic cathedral built 1846-1864 after the designs of Napoleon Le Brun (interior) and John Notman (exterior) on Eighteenth Street, north of Race Street. Contains four columns at the entrance above which the quote "Ad Majorem Del Gloraim" is inscribed, four niches adorned with statuary on the front elevation, two small spires, and a large dome to the rear of the building. A small number of parishioners, predominately women with children, sit and stand at the base and top of the steps leading to the sanctuary. Another woman holds a parasol and ascends the steps.
