Cathedral of the Incarnation (Garden City, New York)
The Cathedral of the Incarnation is an Episcopal cathedral located in Garden City, New York, on Long Island. It serves as the seat of the Diocese of Long Island.
Construction of the cathedral was initiated in 1877 by Cornelia Moore Stewart, as a memorial to her husband, Alexander Turney Stewart, the founder of Garden City. It was designed by architect Henry G. Harrison in the English Gothic style. The cornerstone was laid in 1877 and the building was consecrated in 1885, though interior work continued for several years afterward.
The cathedral features a notable organ built by Roosevelt Organ Works in 1882, and a substantial collection of stained glass windows. It also has a 210-foot tower and spire, which is a prominent landmark in Garden City.
Adjacent to the cathedral is the Cathedral School, a private, co-educational preparatory school, also founded by Cornelia Moore Stewart. The grounds surrounding the cathedral and school contribute to a significant architectural and historical district within Garden City. The Cathedral of the Incarnation continues to function as an active place of worship and a center for community activities within the Diocese of Long Island.
