My parents actually recommended that I visit St. James Episcopal Cathedral. They had heard that the space was supposed to be beautiful and it certainly lived up to these standards. The cathedral has high ceilings, and gothic architecture, as well as many stunning glass windows. Although this description of the decor may sound typical of many churches, the cathedral had something special about it. Aside from the obvious fact that it is indeed a gorgeous church, all the detail painting on the walls and ceiling were done by hand. When you actually stand in the space and realize how large it is and how much detailing has been done it is quite amazing. The church also had a labyrinth outside of it. This is a lovely space!
I would recommend visiting the cathedral during a service or perhaps by calling ahead. It will not be regularly open to the public like some other churches might be.
