Description
Although Washington National Cathedral was built between 1907 and 1990, the techniques of its construction were much the same as those of centuries-old Gothic churches in Europe. What powered the tools and cranes were different, but processes, ordering, and artistic finishing were almost entirely medieval. Andy Bittner’s book, “Building Washington National Cathedral”, appears to be the first published beginning-to-completion photographic record of the construction of a Gothic cathedral. Join Mr. Bittner for a photographic journey through that story, featuring the building itself and the people who put it there.
