St. John's Cathedral is one of the oldest churches in Jacksonville, Florida and became the cathedral of the Episcopal Diocese of Florida in 1951. [ [http://www.cardcow.com/64985/st-johns-episcopal-cathedral-jacksonville-us-state-town-views-florida-jacksonville/#img Cardcow.com: postcard of St. John's Episcopal Cathedral with 1957 postmark] ] The congregation was founded in 1834 as St. John's Parish and is one of the seven original parishes when the Diocese of Florida was received into union with the General Convention in 1838. According to the cornerstone for the present Cathedral, the first St. Johns Church was built in 1842 and burned in 1862 during the Civil War. In the early 1870s, Edward T. Potter designed a new St. Johns and initial construction began in 1873. The church was completed and dedicated in 1877, but later burned in Jacksonville's Great Fire of 1901. In 1902, the Vestry of St. John's approved the design drawings for a new church building submitted by the firm, Snelling and Potter and construction was started in 1903. St. John's Cathedral was completed and consecrated in 1906.

St. John's is the only cathedral in Jacksonville. [Cushman, Joseph D., Jr., "A Goodly Heritage: The Episcopal Church in Florida, 1821-1892", Gainesville: University of Florida Press (1965)] Inside the building is cavernous; built in the Gothic Revival architectural style, it has perfect acoustics and gorgeous stained-glass windows line the walls. In 1983, Advent Glass Works restored and/or repaired all stained glass in the Cathedral, the Cloister and the Cummings Chapel.
