Holy Name Cathedral, Chicago, Illinois [OC]

by
View down the nave of the beautiful and brightly-lit church, the floor of which has geometrical designs and two rows of pews stretching into the distance. Like a European cathedral, it has two aisles marked by ribbed stone columns supporting pointed arches. Above the arches are what look like walls of green marble panels and, above them, small stained glass windows. The ceiling is most distinctive, made entirely of some sort of dark wood carved or positioned to resemble ribbing which forms a grid design over the entire ceiling. In the distance are the windows of the curving wall of the apse.

[Microblog] Basilica of SS

Looking from the altar towards the organ, which is high overhead and has open panels with religious scenes that cover the pipes when closed. Below it is a roundel window. The walls and ceiling are the familiar white with prominent brown ribbing/vaulting, and there are two rows of pews running from the foreground almost to the (organ) wall.
