History
The present building was dedicated by Bishop John Swint in April of 1926. The building is successor to the original cathedral, which was constructed in 1847. [http://www.saintjosephcathedral.com/facts.htm]
In 1973, the church was renovated in order to comply with the post-Vatican II Liturgy. In this renovation the altar was moved forward and various other changes were made. [http://www.saintjosephcathedral.com/facts.htm]
The building was designed by Edward Weber and is a stunning example of Neo-Romanesque architecture. It cost about $500,000 to build in 1926, which is approximately equivalent to $5,540,000 in 2006. [http://www.dollartimes.com/calculators/inflation.htm]
