Eleftherios Venizelos (1864-1936), Prime Minister of Greece from 1910-1920 (and later again from 1928-1932): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleftherios_Venizelos This photograph, according to the note scratched into the negative at the bottom, was taken on November 20, 1916.

Over December 1915 and January 1916, Venizelos was in the NYT almost daily over disputes/discussions with King Constantine of Greece over his premiership and strategies for Greece wrt WWI. Example from Jan 5, 1916 select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FB0A15FF3B5B1773... Headline: KING CONSTANTINE TURNS TO VENIZELOS; Ex-Premier Declines to Return to Power at Present -- Greece May Yet Join Allies. His identity was the subject of a question in a quiz intended to assess the familiarity of college students with current affairs and the "European War.". From the headline: "Questions About Men Named Daily in the Newspapers Brought Ludicrous Replies." The students had the most trouble with, "Who is Venizelos?" See NYT of Jan 11, 1916 select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F40A13FC3B5B1773...

Thanks! We will use "Eleutherios" per LC Name Authority Records.

Thanks so much to both of you for your research. We'll add some of the information to the record the next time we update.

The Greek Association of Brisbane was established in 1913. In May 1921 it purchased Concordia Hall at 44-48 Charlotte Street (27.4717°S 153.0259°E) and renamed it Hellenic House to be used as a gathering place for the Greek community.[2] Greek Orthodox services in Brisbane were initially conducted in St Luke's Anglican Church (also in Charlotte Street) and the Wharf Street Congregational Church,[3][4] until St George's was officially opened as the first Greek Orthodox church in Queensland in front of Hellenic House on 30 March 1929.[5][6] However, the growth in Brisbane's Greek population, particularly after World War II, resulted in a need for a larger church. A new St George's Greek Orthodox Church was built at 33 Edmondstone Street (corner Besant Street) at South Brisbane (27.4799°S 153.0156°E) and opened on 24 April 1960.[7] A new Greek community center (now the Greek Club) was built beside the South Brisbane church, opening in 1976. The Charlotte Street property was sold in 1981 and the Greek buildings on the site no longer exist.[8] Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte_Street,_Brisbane#:~:text=....
