The Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine serves the Episcopal Church as the cathedral of the Bishop of New York. Its cornerstone was laid on December 27, 1892, and the first service was held in 1899 in the crypt beneath the choir. Heins and LaFarge were the original architects, and after they were succeeded by Cram and Ferguson in 1911, the earlier Romanesque plans were transformed to a Gothic design.
