The parish was founded in 1895 for Greek, Russian and Serbian immigrants; the first service was held by Fr. Dimitry Kamnev of the Russian Orthodox mission. The first church stood on Lakeview Avenue on Capitol Hill. The present building on Yale Avenue, recalling the churches of northern Russia, was designed by architect Ivan Palmaw and completed in 1941.
