About this audio guide
This guide to Holy Trinity Orthodox Cathedral in Chicago follows architect Louis Sullivan's commission from an immigrant parish on Leavitt Street, families who had come from small farming villages in Carpathian Rus, Galicia, and the Balkans and turned down his first, grander design. It traces what Sullivan went looking for instead, and the unlikely place his search led him. Listen while standing on the street corner, looking up at the roofline above you.
