This is Saint Sophia Greek Orthodox Cathedral on Massachusetts Ave NW, right where we live, with the Washington National Cathedrdal in the background on the right.

The name Saint Sophia, means "Holy Wisdom," Hagia Sophia. The parish of this church was founded in 1904, but the cornerstone for this building was laid in 1956, in the presence of President and Mrs. Eisenhower.
