From 1853 to 1956 St. Patrick's served as the Cathedral of the Archdiocese of Newark. Designed by Patrick C. Keeley, the church is a fine example of the Gothic Revival style. Situated adjacent to the Newark Museum and within the James Common Historic District, the Cathedral is especially notable for its basilica plan, its vaulted interior, and its elegant belfry tower adorned with spires and pinnacles.
