Show BOISE. St. John's Catholic cathedral, now in course of erection in this city at the corner of Eighth and Hays streets, will be one of the finest church edifices In the northwest. The building was designed de-signed by Tourtellotte & Co. of Boise, and when completed the magnificent structure will have cost close to $50,000. A fair idea of the imposing exterior of the building may be gathered from the arcitect's drawings. The interior in-terior combines all of the latest features of modern churches, finished in a degree of elegance that will please the eye of the most critical. To the rear o the church will be located lo-cated the bishop's residence, a $10,000 structure, the plans for which have but recently been prepared. The cathedral will be pushed along to completion as rapidly as possible and when finished it will have no equal as a church edifice between Salt Lake and Portland. To Bishop A. J. Glorieux, a man always al-ways identified with the best interests inter-ests of the city, a leader in business as well as a leader in the ranks of the clergy, are Boise people indebted for the beautiful building that will be an ornament to Boise. |
