Built in 1901-02, St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral unifies colorful elements into a rich, exuberant example of Baroque architecture as it evolved in Moscow, the only one of its style in New York City. Its central portion of gray stone is ornamental with delicate carving, enriched by garlands of colored brick, terra cotta, and majolica of varying hues. Crowned by five onion-domed cupolas, each surmounted by a golden cross, it is one of the most striking and unusual buildings in the metropolitan area. In 1905, it was named the Diocesan Seat of the Russian Orthodox Church in America.
