The Catedral Church of St Paul will be renamed St Pauls Cathedral before its 100th anniversary. Built in 1820, it was designated cathedral recently but rebuilding was halted by war and restrictions on nonessential building. Restrictions will be lifted soon enabling construction to begin.

Plans for Boston cathedral at St Pauls project details
The plan calls for a $200000 cathedral using St Pauls existing side walls and foundation with an extended nave and wider sides. The porch would be removed and the rear wall possibly torn down to maximize ground use while height and chancel size increase. Ralph Adams Cram proposes three plans though final decisions await. A basement hall for parish clubs and offices would accompany the enlarged chancel and seating by at least 50 percent.
