St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Shreveport, Louisiana was established in 1917. These photos represent a few moments in St. George’s rich history. The Original Greek Orthodox Church was located on the corner of Peabody and Hope Streets in 1924. Members purchased this building, which was remodeled and used as the house of worship for several years.
