The Cathedral is the oldest Episcopal church in central Arkansas and the third oldest church building in the area. The church was built in three phases as funds became available. The design of the church was conceived and by Right Reverend Henry Niles Pierce, who also was the key fundraiser for the church. The church is designed in a cruciform shape (the shape of a cross) in English Gothic style.
The first stage of the church was completed in 1884 when only the nave and baptistry were finished. The next stage consisting transepts and crossing were completed by February 1889. The Cathedral was completed in 1892 with the completion of chancel.
