The Oldest Basilica in North America is Basilica of Notre-Dame in Québec City, It was designated a Basilica in 1874, by Pope Pius IX and as such is the first church in North America to be designated a basilica. Saint Mary in Minnesota was not built until 1907-1915 and was not elevated to Basilica until 1926 by Pope Pius XI. Bmpower | Talk 10:50, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Beaux-Arts architecture[edit]

A source should be added to establish whether the basilica is an example (or even "one of the finest examples") of Beaux-Arts architecture.
