Description
View from Temple Street, of the construction site for the new Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. Two huge cranes tower in the center of the construction site; drawings of other Churches, along with their names, have been painted on the walls that surround the area. Some of these read, "San Roque, Santa Barbara", "San Buenaventura Mission, Ventura", "St. Vincent, Los Angeles", St. Timothy, Los Angeles", "St. Thomas More, Alhambra", etc. The world-renowned Spanish architect and Pritzker Architecture Prize winning professor, Jose Rafael Moneo, designed the new Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. Upon completion, the new Cathedral sat on 5.6 acres bound by Temple Street, Grand Avenue, Hill Street and the Hollywood Freeway, and had a final cost of $189.7 million. The formal Blessing and Dedication took place on September 2, 2002. Photograph dated February 2000.
