The interior photograph is of the iconostasis that was erected in this temple, but was not taken in place. When St Mary's erected a new temple in 1926, the iconostasis was transferred to and re-erected at what was then St Michael Greek Catholic Church in Clymer, PA, now St Michael Orthodox Church (ACROD). The photograph is by Ung-Certez, a member of the Byzantine Forum community - where he posts under that name, and was taken at St Michael's Church. It originally appeared on the Forum's Photo Gallery.
