Best Answer

The first stone of the cathedral was laid in 1677 by Thomas Strong, Wren's master stonemason. The cathedral was completed on 20 October 1708. (There had been several earlier cathedrals on the same site. The previous one was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666.)

What year was the National Cathedral built?

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.
