I didn't get to go inside but the cathedral is a savannah staple.
The majestic historic Lucas Theatre opened in 1921 to a sold-out viewing of the film "Camille." Designed by architect C. K. Howell for Arthur M. Lucas, a leading theatre entrepreneur, the four-story terra cotta, concrete and steel building was originally designed for silent movies and vaudeville performances. The ornate exterior is matched by an elegant interior in the Adamesque style, with Italian marble stairways, Wedgewood inspired colors and gold leaf accents, all restored to their original beauty. A 40-foot wide ceiling dome greatly adds to the splendor of the building.
The congregation of St. John the Baptist formed in the late eighteenth century when French emigres fleeing revolutions in France and Haiti found refuge in Savannah. The Church of St. John the Baptist became a cathedral in 1850 when the Diocese of Savannah was established with the Right Reverend Francis X. Gartland as its first bishop. The Cathedral was dedicated at this site on April 30, 1876. A fire in 1898 destroyed much of the structure. It was quickly rebuilt and opened again in 1900. Another major restoration took place in 2000. Today it is a place of worship and seat of the diocese that includes ninety counties in southern Georgia.
