USAПиттсбург1917Public buildings
The building at 105 South 19th Street was erected for a Protestant congregation: its date stones read 1862 and 1886. In 1917 it became home to the Russian Orthodox parish of SS. Peter and Paul, established in 1916. In the early 1930s the parish lost the building for economic reasons, and in January 1943 it regained the church and parish house; the church was then renamed in honour of the Theotokos. The first pastor, Archimandrite Seraphim (Oblinantseff), painted most of the icons of the iconostasis.
Здание на Южной 19-й улице, 105, построено для протестантской общины: на закладных камнях стоят даты 1862 и 1886. В 1917 году в нём разместился русский православный приход Святых Петра и Павла, основанный в 1916 году. В начале 1930-х годов приход по экономическим причинам лишился здания, а в январе 1943 года вернул себе церковь и приходской дом; тогда храм переименовали в честь Богородицы. Первый настоятель, архимандрит Серафим (Облинанцев), написал большую часть икон иконостаса.
