St. George’s Greek Orthodox Church

This building, now part of the Kitsilano Neighbourhood House, was originally St. George’s Greek Orthodox Church. Built in 1930, the church was central to the Greek community in Kitsilano until a new church was built at Valley Drive and Arbutus Street.

Designed by William Marshall Dodd (1870-1948), a prolific and talented Canadian architect, the church is an excellent example of his work in Vancouver. The church is valued as an example of the continuing influence of the Classical Revival style.

Since the Hay House next door and the heritage church united to become the Kitsilano Neighbourhood House in 1972, the complex has been a centre of Kitsilano community activities.
