The Orthodox Church in America.
Designed c. 1942 by Boris Riaboff, a Russian émigré and associate architect of the Alfred Easton Poor Architects firm. The land for the complex was originally part of the adjoining Riaboff estate, which was transferred to the church when the parish was established. Alterations and extensions to the church were designed and/or overseen by Riaboff, including the transformation of the garage to chapel, extension of the nave, entry arch and bell tower. All of the structures are of wood frame construction; the church is built in a very unusual and rare style based on wooden folk churches and representative of a sixteenth-century skete (small monastery) in Northern Russia.
