Description
A
photograph
of
Christ
Church
Cathedral
located
at
900
Broadway
Avenue
,
Nashville
,
Tennessee
.
Christ
Church
Cathedral
serves
as the
Cathedral
for the
Episcopal
Diocese
of
Tennessee
.
Originally
built
in
1830
on the
corner
of
Sixth
Avenue
and
Church
Street
,
Christ
Church
underwent
a
move
of
location
after
sixty
years
. In
1890
the
church
was
sold
and a
new
lot
was
purchased
for a
new
church
on
Broad
and
McLemore
(Ninth
Avenue)
. The
present
structure
was
completed
in
1894
and
still
stands
today
as
Christ
Church
Cathedral
. The
Victorian
Gothic
structure
was
designed
by
Francis
Hatch
Kimball
of
New
York
.
Christ
Church
was
constructed
of
Sewanee
sandstone
, a
gift
from the
University
of the
South
.
Bowling
Green
grey
stone
was
used
in the
trim
, the
gargoyles
and
later
in the
tower
. The
gabled
and
hipped
roof
is
comprised
of
slate
shingles
and has a
very
complex
structure
. A
mix
of
Gothic
arched
and
circular
shaped
,
stained
glass
windows
with
finished
stone
blocks
surrounding
the
glass
are
frequently
placed
amongst
the
walls
.
Having
undergone
recent
renovations
and
restorations
,
Christ
Church
now
offers
free
weekly
guided
tours
