It is screened from the main body of the church by a Gothic style wooden inconostasis. ... The four silver icons (only two visible in photo) on either side of the inconostasis are from the Elm Street church. Three icons on the iconostasis ... At left: carved grape vines ... Christ Pantokrator ... Archangel Michael ... St. John the Baptist Gothic arch with ribbing in the ceiling dates to 1906 when the church was built. ...

In 2002, parishioners thought the stars decorating the ceiling over the clerestory windows were gold because of decades of built-up grime. After cleaning they were found to be white. In the 2002 renovation, gold was used on on the granite columns and arches |
