Biographical History
Discussions between Cathedral trustees and Renwick about the new Cathedral began in 1853. The final designs for the Cathedral's first scheme were accepted and work began in 1858. Renwick is known to have initially worked in partnership with William Rodrigue, but scholars generally agree that the designs were Renwick's and Rodrigue withdrew from the project in its early stages. See: St. Patrick's Cathedral / by Leland A. Cook. New York : Quick Fox, 1979.
The sculptures were made in Holland by Peter J.H. Cuypers and arrived in the U.S. in 1893. See: St. Patrick's Cathedral / by Leland A. Cook. New York : Quick Fox, 1979--p.110.
The chapel was designed by Renwick and consecrated in 1894.
The altar that was built bears some resemblance to this scheme, particularly the high, central, arched frame supported by solomonic columns. Today this chapel is known as the Chapel and Altar of the Holy Relics.
The Chapel of St. Augustine was built, but was later replaced by the shrine to St. John Neumann.
