  I'm surprised a woman directed that, not that a woman is not capable, but a woman probably wouldn't have been entrusted with that responsibility during the early 1900s.

  This should be added to the Cathedrals Group.

Cathedral of St. John the Divine after ten years' work-may need a century to finish (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  If you go to the persistent URL and zoom the photo and scroll down, you can read the article. Apparently, they were overwhelmed (and a bit melodramatic about it) by the sheer size, scope and cost of the project. According to Wikipedia, it officially opened in 1941, but further construction was halted by WWII. A fire destroyed part of the church in 2001, and it's currently still being renovated: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_of_St._John_the_Divine
