Greek Orthodox Church of the Assumption
Greek Orthodox Church of the Assumption, Greek Orthodox religious structure in Oakland, California.
The Greek Orthodox Church of the Assumption features Beaux-Arts architecture at the intersection of 9th and Castro Streets in Oakland, California.
Originally constructed in 1920 on Brush Street, the church building was relocated to Castro Street in 1979 to prevent its destruction during freeway construction.
The church represents the first Greek American house of worship established in the East Bay, marking the presence of Greek Orthodox traditions in California.
The structure maintains its historical designation under the National Register of Historic Places while currently serving the Corinthians Baptist Church congregation.
State officials and community members, including Mary Mousalimas, worked together to save and relocate the entire church building rather than demolish it.
