It was on a tour led by Richard Sola where I learned that the Old Testament prophet was bald! This stunning stained glass window in Spokane's very own Episcopal Cathedral portrays "Jsaiahs" as an elderly bald man. I've no problem with this; it's very likely. But I'd just never thought of it.
This magnificent Gothic architecture building was begun in 1925 and completed in less than a generation. The exterior stone was quarried near Tacoma with the interior sandstone sourced in Idaho.
Even though it was dedicated on October 29, 1929, construction lagged during the Great Depression and then World War II. Even today, ongoing restoration and adding windows goes on.
Free tours are offered as are organ concerts. Do check it out.
