The Russian Orthodox parish was organized on 1 July 1917 by Fr. Joseph Takach in Birdtown, a working-class neighbourhood that grew up around the National Carbon Company plant. On 11 August 1918 the congregation settled on Madison Avenue; in February 1923 a bell was bought for the church and construction of a rectory began. In March 1948 contracts were drawn up for the present church with an onion dome on a tall central tower, dedicated on 2 July 1950. The church lies within the Birdtown Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 27 June 2007.
Русский православный приход организован 1 июля 1917 года священником Иосифом Такачем в рабочем квартале Бёрдтаун, сложившемся вокруг завода National Carbon. 11 августа 1918 года община обосновалась на Мэдисон-авеню; в феврале 1923 года для церкви купили колокол и начали строить дом причта. В марте 1948 года заключены подряды на постройку нынешнего храма с луковичной главой на высокой центральной башне, освящённого 2 июля 1950 года.
