Moscow Church

[Dement, Sidney Eric]

Francoise, 

Perhaps you are thinking of Nicholas in Khamovniki?  It is associated with a guild of weavers, not tanners.  Khram Nikolaia Chudotvortsa v Khamovnikakh.

Best,

Mnogouvazhaemye kollegi:

There is a church in Moscow I'm trying to identify. It is located in 
the area of the Park kultury metro, somewhere near the Tolstoy house. 
It is white (stucco?) with red, orange and green trim, including 
colored diamond shapes.
I THOUGHT it was dedicated to Nicholas of Mozhaisk, and had something 
to do with being patron to the tanners' guilds in the area.

Can't find it. Did I just dream all this up?
