"Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Memphis, Tennessee)"

Construction of the present church building was begun in 1927. Richard J. Regan of Regan and Weller Architects was chosen to design the church.  The cathedral is a Spanish Colonial Revival style structure. It is cruciform in shape, and measures 173 by 106 feet. The steel structure is covered with buff brick trimmed with Indiana limestone. The main facade features three round arch entrance portals, a rose window, and a stone cross on the central pediment. Two towers flank the main facade. They are capped with copper covered domes surmounted with a cross that reach to a height of 115 feet. There are two other rose windows, one in each transept.
