St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral. 15 East 97th Street. Telephone 212-876-2190. This church was built in 1902 in true Muscovite style, to increase the number of Russian immigrants in the city and fall short in the instaciones who had rented rooms on Second Avenue. During the revolution of 1917 came many more Russians, especially intellectuals and aristocrats, but over time also began arriving refugees and deserters. Its red brick façade contrasts with its five round domes.
