History edit
The first chapel was established in 1895,[2] by Saint Raphael of Brooklyn at a location on Washington Street in Little Syria, 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 built in 1870 that was formerly an Episcopal church at 355 State Street in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn.[1]
