St. Paul Episcopal Cathedral, Cincinnati
One guidebook writes of the church, "For decades after the completion of this stately church in 1852, elegant and fashionable Cincinnatians worshiped there." The Rev. Nicholas Hamner Cobbs served this church for several years before becoming Bishop of Alabama. Salmon P. Chase was superintendent of the Sunday school. In November 1875, the Second Annual Meeting of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union was held at St. Paul's.
The building was demolished in 1937. Many of its members had moved to the suburbs. Today Christ Church Cathedral on Fourth Street is the seat of the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio, and the chapel in the diocesan headquarters next door (which also houses the Forward Movement) is named after St. Paul.
