1921 - 1970

In October, 1922, the old Cathedral building was moved to the south side of the tract of land to make room for a glorious new Cathedral. It was designed by the famous architects of the Washington Cathedral, the firm of Frohman, Robb, and Little of Boston. The cornerstone was laid by Bishop Mann on April 13,1925. Because of the depression, which came to Florida in 1926, the building was only partially constructed.

1970 - Present

In January, 1971, the Rev. Charles T. Gaskell became the ninth Dean of the Cathedral, serving until his consecration in June, 1973, as Bishop Coadjutor of Milwaukee. Under Dean Gaskell's leadership the renovation of the Cathedral nave, with the erection of the choir gallery over the narthex and installation of the 88-rank pipe organ was achieved. Through 1986 and 1987, the temporary wall which was constructed in 1926, was removed and the Cathedral building was finally completed much as it had been originally planned.

Under the leadership of The Very Rev. Dr. G. Richard Lobs III, the twelfth dean, from 1993 to 2006, the Cathedral experienced substantial spiritual and numerical growth. That growth and vitality continue with the Cathedral's thirteenth dean, The Very Rev. Anthony P. Clark, who was installed in December 2006. The congregation looks forward to continuing excellence in worship and growth in the knowledge and love of Jesus Christ under Dean Clark's leadership.
