Donate to the Synodal Building Restoration Fund
For the past 60 years, the Synod of the Russian Church Abroad has been a faithful steward of the Baker Mansion at 75 East 93rd Street, at the corner of Park Avenue. The mansion is built of red brick, set in an English-bond pattern, with white Tuscan marble ornamental features, and consists of five stories, with a basement and sub-basement. Unfortunately, time and wear have left their mark on the beautiful and impressive building – one of very few such edifices remaining in New York. Over the past several years, the Synod has been able to complete nearly $200,000 worth of repairs and improvements, including the complete renovation of the courtyard staircase and balcony, repairing crumbling walls, replacing the heating pipes in the sub-basement, installing security cameras, and other much-needed work.
