St. Vladimir Russian Orthodox Memorial Church

The brick building features Russian Revival architectural elements with multiple domes, decorated exterior walls, and traditional Orthodox design patterns throughout its structure.

Construction began in 1940 with the cornerstone laid by prominent bishops of the united Russian Church in America, though progress halted during World War II.

The church serves as a center for Russian Orthodox traditions, offering regular Divine Liturgies, hosting religious education programs, and maintaining connections to Russian heritage.

Sunday services include Divine Liturgy followed by community meals prepared by the Sisterhood, while the book kiosk sells religious items after services.

The church grounds contain a cemetery from a former Presbyterian chapel, incorporating this historical American religious site into its Russian Orthodox setting.
