Description

A postcard depicting the interior of St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, located at 36 North Pinellas Avenue in Tarpon Springs, Florida. The church was first built in 1907, but was later replaced by the current building in 1943 in the Neo-Byzantine architectural style. The current church was modeled after the Saint Sophia Cathedral, formerly called Hagia Sophia, in present-day Istanbul, Turkey. The church includes 23 stained-glass windows, Greek marble, and Czechoslovakian chandeliers.

This postcard is part of a collection of postcards kept by Lucile Campbell, a schoolteacher in Sanford, Florida, for 30 years. In 1931, she took advantage of a special rate for teachers and sailed to Europe, where she traveled for several months and is thought to have acquired many of these postcards. During the 1940-1941 school year, Campbell taught at Sanford Grammar School. Before her retirement in 1970, she taught at many other area schools, including the Oviedo School, Westside Grammar School, and Pinecrest Elementary School. Campbell used these postcards as aids in her classrooms to teach advanced subjects, such as Shakespearean drama. The collection, along with her other teaching aids, papers, and photographs, was later found at Sanford Grammar School after it became the University of Central Florida's Public History Center. Campbell's postcard collection and photographs provide insight into the life of a respected Florida educator.
