The story
The All Saints Russian Orthodox Cathedral heads Butterfield's work in Metro Detroit, a cathedral in Detroit's Poletown East, finished in 1900.
Both the All Saints Russian Orthodox Cathedral and the COGIC Brooks Cathedral Center still stand. A span of 19 years separates the All Saints Russian Orthodox Cathedral (1900) from the COGIC Brooks Cathedral Center (1919), the first and last of Butterfield's works here.
On the COGIC Brooks Cathedral Center, Butterfield shares credit with Butterfield & Butterfield. On the COGIC Brooks Cathedral Center, Butterfield shares credit with Emily H. Butterfield.
