Founding parishioners of the Russian Orthodox Church of Saint Nicholas, Woolloongabba, Brisbane, 1937

Creator: Unidentified.

Location: Woolloongabba, Brisbane, Queensland.

Description: The Russian Orthodox parish in Woolloongabba was established by white Russians fleeing the Russian revolution. Initially they worshipped in St Thomas' Anglican Church in South Brisbane. In 1925 they purchased a cottage in Vulture Street and converted it into a church. In 1935 the old church was moved to the back of the block so that a new church could be built. This was the first purpose built Russian Orthodox Church constructed in Australia. The new church was designed by Mr Gregory Mekhonoshin and given to a firm of Architects, Messrs. Cavanagh and Cavanagh, for final professional preparation. The new church was completed in 1936.
