Description
Pictured in 1927 is the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament at 1107 11th St. Several period cards are parked on 11th Street. The city’s moneyed Catholics were giddy to make their mark on the structure: Ellen Dwyer, Daniel McCarthy, Elizabeth Harley Hooker, and James McNasser all donated portions of the Cathedral’s exquisite array of stained-glass. The most generous bequest came from Austrian native Anthony Coolot. The crafting, shipping and installation of the massive three-paneled representation of “The Last Supper” cost him $1,200. Even non-Catholics like David Lubin and Margaret Crocker gifted sections of the church. The ornate church braved the elements of the 20th century. It was in 2005, however, that what started out to be the repair of a leaky roof soon morphed into a $35 million renovation, the most expensive church rehabilitation in Sacramento history.
