The Episcopal Cathedral of St. John, located at 271 North Main Street in Providence, Rhode Island was built in 1810 and was designed and built by John Holden Greene in the early Gothic Revival style, replacing a smaller wooden 1722 church on the same site.

Currently, the church is being repaired and renovated to become an "exhibition and reconciliation center" focusing on the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

The church's first building was built the same year on land donated by ship builder Nathaniel Brown.

[3] Colonel Joseph Whipple and French Huguenot Gabriel Bernon were major figures in the establishment of the church and contributed financially the cost of its construction.

[6] The church's original building served Providence until 1810 when work began on what would become the Cathedral of St. John.

[2][7] In November 2014, the Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island announced it was interested in using part of the cathedral for a museum that would examine the state's role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade, both those who profited from it and those who opposed it.
