Category:Cathedral of St. John (Providence, Rhode Island)

English: The Episcopal Cathedral of St. John at 271 North Main Street in Providence, Rhode Island was built in 1810 and was designed and built by John Holden Green in the early Gothic Revival style, replacing a smaller wooden 1722 church on the same site. A chapel by Richard Upjohn was added in 1856, and the south transept by Clifton A. Hall in 1866. The interior was remodeled by Cram, Goodhue & Ferguson in the Baroque style in 1905, and further changes were made in 1967. The Diocesan Offices next door was designed by Milman & Sturges in 1967, and changes were made to it in 1972. The church was made a seat of the Episcopalian Diocese of Rhode Island in 1929.

Currently, the church is being repaired and renovated to become a "exhibition and reconciliation center" focusing on the trans-Atlantic slave trade. It was partially reopened in 2018.
