Description: By the time Sullivan was asked
to design the Cathedral and Parish structures he had earned a
reputation for being America’s foremost avant-garde architects.
In designing this landmark structure Sullivan studied the design
of numerous Russian churches and a small wooden church in the
village of Tatarskaya served as inspiration. To help build the
Cathedral Csar Nicholas gave $4,000.
Experience firsthand the history, heritage, and holiness of one of Sullivan’s
finest buildings. Built in 1903 Holy Trinity Cathedral has been
a beacon for Orthodox Christians and architecture lovers for more
than a century. Sullivan expert and City of Chicago Cultural Historian
Tim Samuelson will lead a talk and tour of the Cathedral, sharing
insights on its design, creation, and the relationship between
Sullivan and the parish priest who later became a Saint. Participants
will also enjoy a buffet dinner of traditional Russian foods,
and hear a performance of liturgical music by the Pan Orthodox
Choir of Greater Chicago.
