Despite it being the first week of February, things are starting to bloom in Charleston. The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist is actually the second brownstone cathedral on that site. The first, the Cathedral of Saint John and Saint Finbar, was built in 1854 but burned down in 1861. The building of the new one, which was built on the foundations of the first, opened in 1907.
