NYFE Summary
A large onion dome rises above the center, with four smaller domes over the corner bell towers. Each carries a Russian cross. The short arms of the cross-shaped plan and the filled corners give the building an almost square outline.
Yellow brick surrounds large arched windows and a group of arched entrance doors. A broad cornice follows the roof and front gable. These features can be seen from the surrounding public streets.
