Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist.

The Alter of St John The Baptist.

The Cathedral is located at 222 east Harris st

Savannah Georgia. It is the Mother church of

Roman Catholic Diocese of Savannah. It was

established as Savannah's first parish at the

end of the 18th century,by French imigrants

who fled Haiti after an uprising, and also  

French Nobles who fled the French revolution.

On May 30th 1800 the first church was built

on Liberty Square. By 1804 the church needed

more room. There were no more lots to build on.

On august 2nd 1811 the City granted permission

to build at Montgomery and Hull streets, but it

was never built. Instead it was built at Drayton

and Perry streets.

In 1876, another new building was built along Harris 

street between Abercorn and Lincoln streets. In 1898 

this structure caught fire and was almost completely

destroyed. The then Bishop of Savannah, Thomas A.

Becker said while looking at the devistation," The 

Cathedral must be rebuilt as soon as possible".

The reconstructed Church was completed in late

1899 and held the first Mass on Dec. 24 of that year.

It was dedicated on Oct. 28, 1900 by Archbishop

Sebastien Martinelli. The Cathedral remains one of the

largest church buildings in the southern United States.

In 1959-1963 the building was renovated extensively,

being updated with modern heating, cooling, lighting;

a new Plaza; a new Pulpit; and new Alter rail. In 1984-85

the building was again renovated: The old crumbling wooden

foundation was replaced with re-enforced concrete.

In September 1998-November 2000 the Cathedral slate

roof was replaced, 50 stained glass windows were

releded, and the interior was restored.

The Cathedral is a popular tourist attraction.

We are very thankfull to Almighty God that all of

this History and Tradition is granted to us

in Jesus Name. "He is the reason for the Season"

Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist

The steeples of the

Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist,

Catholic church Savannah Georgia.

This is the front entrance to the church

located on Abercorn street, there is also a chapel

below the main church in the basement, if you will.

There are services everyday at designated

times. When there are no services in progress,

the church is open to turists, free of charge.

There is a place to make a donation if you wish.

  The Cathedral is beautifully decorated inside 

at this time. I will post some pics of the inside

later, but I am an amature and, the photos don't

demonstrate the true beauty.  

These flowers I found growing through a

decrotave iron fence on the grounds.

Red Brick Wall.

Factors Walk Savannah Ga.

Factors Walk is the old old

business and trading center of

Savannah. Going back to the

days of ships under sail,

and even Pirates.

This wall in the sunlight seemed

to shout "my windowes have

seen more than you can imagine".

I wonder what the iron wall mounts were

for ? Maybe planters, light oil drums for

 heating. Looking at it I don't think I'd

pull up a chair and kick back.

Rail Road Museum Kennesaw Ga.

Faster than fairies, faster than Witches,

Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches;

And charging along like troops in a battle,

All through meadows the horses and cattle;

All of the sights of the hill and the plain

Fly as thick as driving rain;

And ever again, in the wink of an eye,

Painted stations whistle by.

Here is a child who clambers and scrambles,

All by himself and gathering brambles;

Here is the tramp who stands and gazes;

And there is the green for stringing the daisies!

Here is a cart run away in the road

Lumping along with man and load;

And here is a mill and there a river;

Each a glimpse and gone forever!

"Robert Lewis Stevenson"

It's not my job to run this train !!

It's Bell I may not ring !!

But, just let the damn thing jump the track;

Then see who catches hell !!!

This old camera probably takes better photos

than I do.
