From: Jeanette (New York City, USA)
Depicts: Chapel of St. Saviour at the Cathedral Church of Saint John, the Divine (New York City, USA)
Four out of five in this "collection" and this one is the one I liked the most. Plus, Jeanette told me that James Gandolfini's funeral was held in these grounds which is always another interesting fact to add to the ones I'd already gotten.
This shows the St. Saviour's Chapel, the first portion of the Cathedral to be completed. Designed by Heins and La Farge, it is dedicated to the Slavic peoples. The carvings at the entrance and on either side of the principal windows were designed by Borglum, who modeled the heads on Mount Rushmore.
Postcard stamp:
None, since it came in an envelope.
