St. Paul's was founded in 1819 . At the time of its founding, there were two other Episcopal Parish es in Boston, Christ Church (better known as Old North Church ), and Trinity Church . Both had been founded before the American Revolution as part of the Church Of England . The founders of St. Paul's wanted for there to be a totally American parish in Boston. In 1912 , after its Downtown neighbourhood had become mainly non-residential, the Diocese named St. Paul's as its cathedral. St. Paul's is located at 138 Tremont Street, directly across from Boston Common . It is adjacent to the diocesan offices. Unusual for a church building, St. Paul's was built in Greek Revival style. A carving of St. Paul preaching before King Agrippa II was intended to be placed over the entrance, but was not completed. The current Dean of the cathedral is the Very Reverend John P.
