The St. Nicholas Antiochian Cathedral was established in 1895, by Saint Raphael of Brooklyn at a location on Washington Street in Lower Manhattan. He founded the Syrian Orthodox congregation and then moved it to Brooklyn's Pacific Street in 1902. In 1920 the congregation relocated to a building that was formerly an Episcopal church at 355 State Street in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn.[1]
