Title	Cathedral of Mexico City, Mexico, ca.1905-1910
Description	Photograph of the Cathedral of Mexico City, Mexico, ca.1905-1910. Dual towers gird the main entrance to the church. The actual base is blocked by large trees. A station and five streetcars are in the foreground. There are also many people and several horse-drawn carriages present.; "Mexico City is the largest and finest city in Spanish America. Being laid out with perfect regularity, its 600 streets and lanes running at right angles north and south and east and west. The broad, well paved and well lighted streets terminate everywhere with a background of rugged sierras or snow-capped peaks, which seem quite near, but in reality are 30 or 40 miles distant. The main thoroughfares converge on the central Plaza de Armas (Plaza Mayor or Main Square). Here are grouped the public buildings and, towering above all, the Cathedral, the largest and most sumptuous edifice in America. This Church was founded in 1573 and finished in 1657, at a cost of about $2,000,000 for the walls alone." (ca.1905)
