“The Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church of St. Michael the Archangel is located at 431 s. Claymont St. This church was organized in January, 1915, with a membership consisting of 25 families. The church was incorporated on Jan. 23, 1915. The two-story house on the present site was purchased on Mar. 11, 1915. It was remodeled for use as a church on the first floor and for a school and priest’s apartment on the second floor. The church was consecrated by Bishop Alexander, the head of the church in the United States and Canada. A few years later the brick parish – house was built adjoining the church. It is also used as a school and contains an apartment for the priest.” (1)
