Comments

The St Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral was completed in 1936. 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. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs are invited. Photographs uploaded 8/11/2019.
