Cathedral of All Saints, Albany

The Cathedral of All Saints is the central church of the Episcopal See and the seat of the Episcopal Bishop of Albany. It was the first Cathedral church in the Episcopal Church in the United States of America to be built expressly and for that reason, it is also called the Pioneer Cathedral.
It is built in the Gothic style of architecture, and remains incomplete, although dedicated in 1888. It is in the Downtown Albany Historic District and is on several registers of historic properties. Bishop William Croswell Doane's major project, for many years, was the building of the Cathedral of All Saints, his major legacy. The Cathedral is noted as a tourist destination for its Gothic architecture, and especially for its multicolored stained glass windows, stone carvings, and 17th century Belgian Choir stalls. The Cathedral is famous for its music program, and is affiliated with the American Guild of Organists and the Royal School of Church Music in America. The Cathedral is also a concert venue for both secular and religious music.
