Chicago Cathedral Catches Fire

The fire broke out around 5:30 a.m. at the cathedral at 735 N. State St., which just reopened in November after a series of renovations. The cathedral is a city landmark and the seat of the Chicago Archdiocese.

Flames shot throught the roof through a void space between the roof and the ceiling, around the middle portion of the church sanctuary. The fire was burning right above the area with the altar, where past cardinals’ hats and other artifacts are kept.
