Washington National Cathedral, formally known as the Cathedral Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, is the seat of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Washington D.C., and was built between September 29, 1907 and September 29, 1990. The building is entirely of masonry construction, consisting of over 150,000 tons of buff Indiana limestone. Of that 150,000 tons of stone, every block had a number and a specific location. Additionally, there was only one stone-setting crew working at a time. So, although the construction period lasted 83 years, 18 of which are recorded as non-construction years, the construction period was not inordinately long, particularly considering what was accomplished is the largest, completed masonry structure on the North American continent and the sixth lagest Cathedral-style church in the World.
