1960'S St. John the Divine Cathedral Church Souvenir Photo Album

Here is a beautiful Souvenir Photo Album from the venerable St. John the Divine Cathedral Church, New York, Circa 1960's (pre-70's expansion) focusing on the stained glass array of unmatched artisan work. Excellent Condition. 14 intensely saturated color photos of Interior and Exterior views of the Deluxe Iconic Stained Glass Window display. St. John's is one of the largest churches in the world and yet unfinished (and may never be). I knew little of this monument, but was stunned by its history and Forrest Gump-like presence throughout the ages. Interesting Wikipedia Factoids: Notable funerals held at St John's; these folks went out in a blaze of glory!
