Cathedral Bays in Connection with Small Chapels, St. Patrick's Cathedral
Architectural drawing by Charles T. Mathews showing two Gothic bay designs at quarter-scale for St. Patrick's Cathedral. The Northern and Southern bays demonstrate the cathedral's verticality through pointed arches, clustered columns, and tracery—hallmarks of Gothic Revival design. The lower sections feature ashlar stonework with Gothic arcading, while upper bays rise to quatrefoil windows and ornamental spires. This technical drawing represents early-twentieth-century ecclesiastical architecture and the precision required for large-scale institutional construction projects.
