The building at 136 Second Avenue between St. Marks Place and East 9th Street in the East Village neighborhood of lower Manhattan, New York City was originally built c.1890 by the Sisters of Divine Compassion, a Roman Catholic order which ran the House of the Holy Family and the Association for Befriending Children and Young Girls at the site. The building now houses Ukrainian organizations, and the medallion on the facade is Taras Shevchenko the Ukrainian national poet.
