Just was looking over some of the distinctive features of St. Vartan's Armenian Cathedral at 2nd Avenue and 34th Street...Built back in the 1960's, it seems to have been constructed as kind of a fortress!
Relief figure of Christ on side of building has just been the subject of extensive repair and renovation work.
When someone I know first saw pictures of this place, they said, "Armenians don't seem to believe much in windows, do they?"
Have no idea why window space in main cathedral building is so limited...
Adjacent administration building has lots of windows...
