Other additions, enlargements and modifications have taken place over the years including the installation of the Great Organ by 1931. The famous Great Rose stained glass window is 26 feet in diameter and is considered to be the finest work designed by Charles Connick. In the late 1980s much of the roof was replaced, the interior refurbished and the electronic amplification system was modernized.
