On 25 April, 1909 a dynamite bomb was set off in the Cathedral, blowing out windows and damaging galleries, but doing less severe damage than might be expected from such a violent criminal plot.

The Cathedral suffered further damage in the New Orleans Hurricane of 1915. The following year a portion of the foundation collap ...More...
