| Additional Information: | The first Greek Orthodox Church in Wauwatosa was established in 1922 and purchased a converted Jewish Synagogue, located at 1432 North 5th Street, for services in 1924. The congregation constructed a new Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church in 1967. Though the church was designed in the Contemporary style, it consciously maintains the traditional sequence of Exonarthex, Esinarthex, Nave, and Sanctuary for an Orthodox church. A large addition of a meeting hall, classrooms, and offices was constructed to the south in 1973. |
