Venue Information

Christ Church Cathedral is a historic church at 955 Main Street in Hartford, Connecticut. It is a basically rectangular brownstone structure, with a square tower centered at its eastern end. The main facade is divided into three sections by the tower, each of which has a doorway set in a two-story Gothic-arched recess, with a window above. The sides are five bays deep, with buttresses separating Gothic-arched windows, and brownstone finials at intervals along the roof line. The finial details are repeated at the top of the tower, which is surrounded by a low balustrade.

The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.Although the church was constructed over a long period of time (it was begun in 1823, but the tower was not completed until 1839), the initial design was by Ithiel Town; it is one of the nation's earliest Gothic churches.
