Thank you for these. That's a beautiful exterior photo and I've used it to replace the one that I previously had in the directory. You can see the revised entry here. I've credited the photo in the Notes, further down the page.

Do you, by chance, have an interior photo? If so, and you could e-mail it to me at ec_parish_webmaster@yahoo.com, I'd be very appreciative. Also, if you know the date on which the parish closed, I'd like to get that as well.

May the memory of St Nicholas Church be eternal!

Unfortunately I don't have an interior photo of St Nicholas. I went to Liturgy there in about 1970 and again around 2008. In 1970 the interior was very influenced by Roman Catholicism. There were statues, a communion rail, stations of the Cross etc. By 2008, the interior had been renovated in a more eastern style with an iconostas and Byzantine icons. The exterior was freshly painted just a year or so ago, so when the church closed I was kind of surprised. Not sure of the exact closing date, but I would say it was around August or so. The sign that used to be out front has been taken down.
