St. Patrick's Cathedral was finished in 1879, but for financial reasons the structure was terminated behind the high altar and remained that way for 20 years. Renwick had various schemes for the ambulatory and Lady Chapel, but none of them were realized before his death in 1895. A competition was held [ca. 1899-1900] requesting submissions for completion of the Lady Chapel. Renwick's successor firm (Renwick, Aspinall & Owen) entered the competition anonymously. Their designs were not chosen. Charles T. Matthews won the competition and construction lasted from 1901 to 1906.
