Century Memorial
Some of the most graceful artistic conceptions in the interior of St. Patrick’s Cathedral were the work of Charles Thompson Mathews, whose designs for remodeling the East end of the cathedral were accepted, in face of the competition of well-known American, French and British architects. Mathews was an imaginative and at the same time an extremely practical master of his art. Other notable churches perpetuate his ideas and his professional skill. He wrote the interesting “Renaissance under the Valois,” which was as cordially received in France as by his fellow-citizens.
