The Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Annunciation
The Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Annunciation began in the early 20th century, when Greek immigrants came to America with the hope of gaining economic independence and to preserve their Orthodox faith in the New World. By 1909, Father Douropoulos, along with a determined group of immigrants, had acquired a permanent house of worship at the corner of Homewood Avenue and Chase Street. By the mid-1930s, the congregation at Homewood Avenue desperately needed to expand its facilities. The actions of the Greek community in 1937 led to the purchase of the historic Associate Congregational Church at 24 W. Preston St. The magnificent edifice was saved from the wrecking ball and a new era of progress and assimilation into American society began for Baltimore's Greek Orthodox community.
