Loretto Chapel, the first Gothic building west of the Mississippi, was patterned after Sainte Chapelle in Paris, and built at the request of Archbishop Jean Baptiste Lamy between 1873 and 1878. The Chapel is best known for its choir loft staircase, called Miraculous due to its two complete spirals without center or side supports (defying engineering logic) and due to the legend of its construction.
