| 説明 | St. Theodosius Russian Orthodox Cathedral and its many Onion Domes tower over Interstate 490 and Starkweather Avenue in Cleveland’s Tremont neighborhood. Constructed in 1911, the Neo-Byzantine Revival-style building was designed by architect Frederick C. Baird and houses a congregation that was formed in 1896 by Russian immigrants whom had settled in Cleveland. Consecrated in 1913, the church has long been a center of the Russian community in the city, and landmark on the city’s west side, with thirteen onion domes representing Jesus Christ and his twelve apostles towering above the relatively restrained, Renaissance-inspired yellow-brick structure that is built in a Greek cross shape, a typical form taken by Orthodox Churches. Rededicated in 1954 after hosting several Sobors, a council of the Russian Orthodox Church used to decide on important matters within the church, owing to its large size and central, easily accessible location. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, and remains one of the most iconic and unique structures in Cleveland, a testament to the city’s religious, ethnic, and cultural diversity, and its economic prowess during the early 20th Century. |
