The large bronze doors adorning St. Patrick’s Cathedral’s Fifth Avenue main entrance were a late addition of the original 1949 wooden doors. The doors were fabricated and engineered following the blue prints of Charles Maginnis, which included hand-sculpted saints, religious figures, floral decoration, and symbols executed by the sculptor John Angel. When G & L Popian was selected to work on this project, the company conceptualized and implemented a feasible philosophy and practice by returning the bronze doors to the level of significance they deserved.
