More About:
East Village
Built in 1891 as the Mount Olivet Memorial Church, the structure at 59 East 2nd Street was designed by prominent New York architectural firm J.C. Cady and Co. Aside from its architectural distinction the church reflects the ongoing ethnic evolution of immigrant communities of the East Village, having served large German, Italian, Hungarian, and Slavic-speaking congregations.
