1550 Fell Street

1. 1948

   The Convent of Our Lady of Vladimir was established in this Victorian-era house in 1948 by an abbess arriving from Shanghai, after two nuns sent ahead in 1941 bought the property. Eight sisters and novices were living here in 1950 alongside lay staff and lodgers; the convent kept a functioning church in the building until the property was sold in 1995.
