Urge Landmark Designation of the RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CATHEDRAL! A Petition to Protect a Neighborhood Landmark
Final supporters
East Village Community Coalition (EVCC)
As residents of the Lower East Side / East Village, we urge Manhattan Community Board 3 to support designation of the historic Russian Orthodox Cathedral, at 59-63 East 2nd Street, as an individual landmark of the City of New York. The Cathedral was constructed in 1891, designed by the renowned architect Josiah Cleveland Cady, who later designed the Metropolitan Opera House and the auditorium of the American Museum of Natural History. The Cathedral fits as an historic whole with the already-landmarked Marble Cemetery across East 2nd Street.

Reaching this level of support feels heavy because it proves how many of us see what is about to be lost. My eyes are tired from staring at these files but knowing this many neighbors care keeps me going.

Too much history already gone. Keep it standing.
I walk past this every single day and it adds so much character to the block. Save the cathedral please.
Absolutely essential we preserve these old structures. Real shame if we lose it.
This building is gorgeous. Stop tearing down everything good in this city just to put up another glass condo.
save it!!!! too many soulless towers already.

The architecture is stunning and deserves protection. NYC is losing its soul.
