Summary
| Description | The Cathedral of the Protection of the Holy Virgin, at 59 East 2nd Street between First and Second Avenues, in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, a cathedral of the Diocese of New York and New Jersey of the Orthodox Church in America, was built in 1891, designed by J.C. Cady & Company in the Greek Revival style. It was originally the Olivet Memorial Church, replacing an earlier chapel built by the New York Mission Society in 1867 on the site of what had been a small cemetery. The new building included a library, a gymnasium amd baths. In 1942, the building was sold to the Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church of America, and it re-opened in 1943. It is located within the East Village/Lower East Side Historic District (Sources: "East Village/Lower East Side Historic District Designation Report" and From Abyssinian to Zion (2004)) |
