Who We Are

The East Village Community Coalition works to recognize, support, and sustain the built and cultural character of New York City's East Village.  This character includes a diverse population; low-rise, human scale, blocks and affordable buildings with historic and architectural significance; a multitude of community gardens; indigenous stores and businesses; and the neighborhood's history and ongoing tradition as a haven for those seeking freedom to express artistic, creative, and social concerns.

Historic East Village Structure Needs Your Support!
Print E-mail

We need your support in asking the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) to designate the Russian Orthodox Cathedral, at 59-63 East 2nd Street, as a Landmark.  The LPC held a hearing in March for landmark designation but did not take a vote at the hearing.

The Cathedral was constructed in 1891, designed by the reknowned 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.  Neighborhood support is necessary in encouraging Community Board 3 and the Landmarks Preservation Commission towards designating the Cathedral as a Landmark.  As a first step, PLEASE sign our online petition and please include your name and address in the comments section.
