The Cathedral of St. John and St. Finbar was the first Roman Catholic cathedral in Charleston South Carolina. Begun in 1850 and consecrated on April 6 1854 it was destroyed on December 11 1861 in a fire that ravaged much of Charleston. A new cathedral—the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist built on the same site-was started on in 1890. It opened in 1907 and was completed in 2010.
