This Day in History...
December 2, 1697 - St Paul’s Cathedral, rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren, reopened. The previous cathedral (though still not the original; its actually the 4th building on the site!) was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. Some thought Wren was a secret supporter of Catholicism because the new building had the look of St. Peter's in Rome (I actually like the style of the old one!).
