In a literal sense, the last three words “It’s really something” (Carver) means how the Cathedral was actually an object, even when the man had closed his eyes.

The man also says this as to say something thoughtful rather than opening his eyes and saying it did not look anything like a cathedral would. “It’s really something” (Carver) could be applied in a more figurative sense rather than a literal sense as well. These words can be used to describe the feeling that the man was feeling; being in his house but feeling like he was not inside anything. This feeling, to me, does not apply to the entire story because of the man’s attitude
