DESCRIBE THE PRESENT AND ORICINAL iknown PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

The massive Roman Catholic Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul issited on a rise of land known as WeybossetHill just west of the downtown shopping and office core’of Providence’and faces,on re-claimedland which has been formed lately into CathedralSquare. Since its’beginnings in 1878 from’ the designs Patrick C. Keeley--an Irish-bornNew York architect prolific in church work--and its consecration in1889, it has dominated its surroundings. This large, towered structurefaced in rough-hewn,reddish-brown sandstoneashlar and trinmed in thesame stone,smobthly finished,rises straight anftaggressively’from.pavement level, which was, in fact, originally directly on a busy streetwhich has now been in part. closed 6ff to allow for a long plaza in frontof the Cathedral, with trees planted at one end.

As one might expect in the decadein which it was planned andbuilt, the Cathedralis externally reminiscent of the north-ItalianRomanesquestyle, though there is some pointedoothic façade detail and i-ngable,ornament. Large and high, this structure has a cruciform plan rncovered by cross-gabledroofs. Perhaps its most prominent features arethe two tall, square, buttressed and crenelated towers which flank its -

main entrance portals and the nave gable; these vigorously up-thrusting . z

massesare intentionally conspicuous features of the huildi,ng, makingit a visual landmark and certainly proclaiming it as :a fortress of God.

‘ -I

The north, or entrance, front is a five-part composition kBCBa,

of which the three central parts are. the dominant ones. . Here are the, C

two slightly-projected and corner-buttressedsix-storey-high towers, . n

machicolated at their’ tops and bandedby string-coues at various . -I

levels; each totrer was’ designed with a pointed-arch portal at its basethese are now replaced by windows, paired or single windows on several

levels above, then the long, paired; round-headedlouvred openings where

the bells hang. The western tower has clock faces above the bell-housing,

while the eastern ohe has instead heavily-stone-mullioned round windows.

Between these towers is the approximately four-storey-high gabled section

indicating the’ nave; this has three doorway openings with pointed,arches,

carried on columns of’ polished grey marble and a large, shallow, pointed-

arch recess in the stoneworkabove them: in this are contained first an

arrangementof five narow, grouped’windows, and above these five--and

still within the recess--a large"rose-window;" in the peak of the gable

are three closely-spaced round-headedwindows. Surmounting the gable is -

a lOw pinnacle carrying a gilt cross. Projecting laterally like ears

from either side of the frontal towers are slim three-storey, half

hipped extensions to ‘th& ftcnt elevation, completing the’ five-part ar

rangement; these containside entrances and the stairs to the gallery of

the Cathedral auditorium.

Five bays back from the towers and frontal narthex or vestibule,

the projecting transepts are dominant, high-gabled features of the

buttressed side eas,t and west elevations ‘and echo the centre part of

of the north, or frontal, façade--having tall, pointed-arch recessescontaining grouped pointed-arch windows below and large rose-windows above.

- The transept gables are adorned with ‘stone pinnacles at angles and apesand so are the slightly lower half-gabled flankers of each transept. Thefive side bays of the. ‘nave display single tall pointed-arch windows ineach hay at lower level, with smaller, paired, pointed-arch windows aboveat gallery level. At the rear south of the Cathedral is the angularchoir or sanctuary projection, which is given mitch the same treatment asthe transepts except that there are not windows at the lower level, behindthe altar. Here, at the rear, have been made some low ardinnocuousmodern,additions to the Cathedral to provide better sacristy accommodation;andthere is a new glassedpassageto the rectory--this last-mentioned building being a good example of the "Ruskinian Gothic" style, topped by a highand angular mansard roof. ‘

While the exterior is Romanesque,monumental, a rather intense andforbidding mass, the Cathedrais interior is quite opoosite and can bedescribed as almost completely in European pointed Gothic style, used in amanner to create--once one has entered and traversed the vestibule--a -

surprising and overwhelming impression of grand, high, open, lighted space.The vestibule within the north front is a shallow one whose-walls havebeen newly faced with beige marble’; it has a flat, connartmented ceiling

of dark-stained narrow matched hoarding, with the mouldings forming the -

borders of the compartmentsaccented in colour mainly red, blue and goldand with bosses where the’ members separating the compartments intersect.Up five steps are the three doorways to the Cathedral auditorium’s nave,and another two flanking dciort.rays serving its side-aisle spacs.

The main body of the Cathedral,’its -nave, has a high, pointed-archwooden roof or ceiling of dark-stained narrow boarding with compartmentsand ribs decorated inthe same manner as the t-estihule ceiling, and simi

lar decor is to be found in the low, saucer-vaulted ceilings of the side-aisle snaces below the gallery. This pointed-arch roof of the nave risesabove a triforium faced in cream-coloured plaster’ which is pierced, in the

‘main, five-bay-long part of the nave, by tall pointed arches carried on

clustered columns of polished grey marble; these columns are on plinths

and have elaborate plaster capitals in which foliate designs and small

statuettes are combined. In the uprer part of the triforium are diminished

oointed-arch openings to the gallery. Th,e lower part of the nave is

lighted by large stained-glass windows illustrative of holy personares,

‘while the gallery has smaller paired windows of stained glass with purely

decorative desiRns. At the eiftrance end of the nave is the former organ-

balcony, supported on wooden piers and corhel.s and having a richly-de

signed frontal of panelling, again picked out in gilding, and colour.

Around the body of the Cathedral auditoritun runs a wainscot of grey marble

with tretfoil-headed inset panels of russet marble in its upper portion.

7. Description.

Somewhat unusually, the tall.nave arcading is extendedby a sixth bay intothe transept or crossing area, and here the columns are more ro’riistlyclustered. Each of the nave’s arches, while’tall, is also given generouswidth, which allotys the nave snace to combine with that of the side-aislesand give a senseof considerable open area.

The transepts extending to east and west are ostensibly of three baysfilled by pointed-arch stained-glass windows at lower level with largerose-windows above,hut they are somewhat extended backinto the nave areaas mentioned in the last sentenceof the precé’ding paragraph. The easttransept is now largely filled by a new organ and its console. Here, atthe crossing of nave and transents, the 6hernise rigidly panelled ceilingis adorned by five large inserts of circular paintings of saintly persons.

South of the transepts is the rectangular choir or sanctuary area,which is raised above the nave level and has a wooden pointed-arch ceiling.in confonidty with the rest of the’interior, and a large rose-window.Here there are newly-stencilled walls and old paintings of saints abovewall recessesand rear doorways. Set hack in this precinct is the formerhigh altar of white marble with mosaic inserts in its end panels; this isstill backed by an elaborate and high reredos of gilt sculpted wood. However, this old high altar has been modified and now forms only a backingfor the throne of the bishop and the seats of his aides. A new, marbleplatform ofsemi-octagonal shape has been built out into the nave, and on

- it rests the large oblong of greenish marble which is the, new altar, un- adorned’ exceot for the incised and ancient holy designs of fish on itsfront. Above the new altar is suspendeda large circular lighting fixture

- of polished golden metal, almost like an enormouswedding ring, which givesthe effect, appropriate in a cathedral,’of a haldachino.

In recessesto left and right of the sanctuary space are two side-altars with pierced, carved wooden screens enframing them; similarly hutmore solidly enframed are vestihules for the entrances in the rear corners,of the auditorium. /

In the years 1968-1973 the’Cathedral underwent an extensive programof repair and refurbishment, and at the same time its surroundings wereimnroved by the creation of a large open plaza, designed -by I. N. Pei, witha fountain and a small grove of trees,’in front of the Cathedral; a newlong and low diocesan chancery building discreetly screens theplaza’s westside, while one looks down op the city from its east side’. The cornerstone,

hidden by rises in ‘,pvSent level, has now been exposedto view. At the

north-west corner of the building, on its side, a new railed areaway has

‘been created to orovide better access tO the lower church, or crypt. Mo

dest additions at the rear have already been mentioned. What has been done

STATEMENT OF S1GNIF,cANcE - - ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ -

Still monumental and cotispicuous, even among ‘numerous recenthigh-rise buildings, the Cathedral of SainthPeter and Paul must have

_

been evenmore so when first built near the low XVIII- and Xfl-Centurydomestic structures of old WeybossetHill. And this display of sizeand grandeur was-surely intentional: to signify the slowly-built hut

o increasingly widespread importanceof the Roman,Catholic faith in Rhode- Island-and the dignity of its episcopal seat in Providence.. There had

been an earlier and small church structure on the site, which had beeno promoted to "Cathedral" in 18L7, when Providence becamean independent

diocese--having previously been one jointly with Hartford, Connecticut.This small building probably was sufficient for local ‘Catholic needsduring its thirty years of existence, since Rhode Island remained gen.erally a stronghold of the more austere forms of Protestantism,’ though

‘I’ Catholic masseshad been said, hei’e or there, in Providence since 1789.z The Roman Catholic element in the city and state increased consider-

-

- ably with the immigration of many Irish from the l83O’sl8bO’s onwardand of many Italians, French Canadiansand Portuguesein decades101-

LU lowing. Their numbers, the numerous local narishes thifounded, andLU pride in their own old faith on new "foreign groundtt are the basis - -

tin f the present diocese and-the present Cathedral, which was meant tobe a religious monument for all to see.

Because of its siting and its size, the Cathedral has long beena landmark in its city, and one of interest to both the casual passer-’by and the architectural historian. It was, certainly built, proudly,for the ages, and except for the tall and plain towers shows an interesting mixture of styles: on which mixture one‘can make someconjectures. Its architect, Patrick Keeley 1816-1896 was horn in Ireland, -

the son of an architect, and’ he presumably observedbuildings in theUnited Kingdom before he emigrated to America at the age of twenty-five he was to he.,chiefly a church architect from then, until the endof hiSlife. His fist church designs--amongwhich was St. Joseph’sChurch of 18S1 on Hope ‘Street in Providence--werelargely derived fromwhat he had seen of parish churches in England and Ireland. Twenty-five years later, and onward , he departed somewhat from this frame ofmind and of design, probably in keeping with the ideas of his clientsas much as with current architectural fashion. While English-style

8. Significance.

Gothic churches would still for-many decadeshe built for Protestant congregations, such reminders of the Anglican Church were little wanted byIrish-American Catholics and even less suited to the understandingandtastes of immigrants from central and southern Europe. A copy of anEnglish abbey, which Keeley could do well, was not in line, and he tookcare to vary his style, here and in cathedrals forBoston and Portland,Maine. Nevertheless, he could not forget what he had observed in hisyouth; so that while one sees at the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paula strong and massiveRomanesquesilhouette, there is indeed a Gothic interior.

‘

From 1968 to 1973 a complete rehabilitation of the Cathedral, its-‘ ancillary buildings and its surroundings was undertaken, including the

creation of the plaza stretching before it--across which one can now see,beyond cleared land, the smaller Gothic mass of All Saints MemorialChurch Episcopal on WestminsterStreet as a sort of counterfoil. TheCathedralbuilding consequently is to-day better--seen, more used and enjoyed--even by non-Catholics when there are concerts and ecumenical

- events--than ever before. Providence already has a number of churchesand downtown buildings listed in the National Register, and the prominentand architecturally valuable Cathedrl of Saints Peter and Paul deservesto join these others. -
