About St. Vartan Armenian Cathedral
St. Vartan Armenian Cathedral is in Manhattan's Murray Hill, on Second Avenue's east side, from East 34th to East 35th streets. Its design is modeled on Saint Hripsime Church in Etchmiadzin (Vagharshapat), and it was consecrated in 1968 as the first Armenian Apostolic cathedral built in North America. Beside it stand a cultural center and a diocesan house, and it is headquarters for the Armenian Church of America's Eastern Diocese.
A campaign for a cathedral began in 1926 but was derailed by the 1929 Wall Street crash and the Great Depression. The Diocesan Assembly decided in 1945 to build in New York City, and Bishop Tiran Nersoyan announced a $1,000,000 fundraising campaign in 1947. A groundbreaking ceremony took place on May 2, 1965, and on April 28, 1968, Vasken I consecrated the $3.5 million cathedral in the name of St. Vartan.
Walker O. Cain, of Steinman, Cain & White, was the principal architect, though Rafayel Israyelian is the architect the Armenian Church credits. The building has two features distinct to Armenian architecture: a pyramidal dome and double-intersecting arches. Measured from the street, the dome is 120 feet (37 m) high. Steel in the structure let the walls be thinner than the traditional thickness (two and a half feet, or 0.76 m). The dome was regilded with 23-karat gold leaf in a renovation completed in 1994.
