The first Russian Orthodox church in Sydney. A Russian parish was established in the city in 1933. According to the parish history, funds were raised to build a church in Darlinghurst, but construction proved impossible because of the war, and the parish used the money to buy a house, which was converted into a church and clergy flats. In 1942 the church opened in this house at 31 Robertson Road and remained the centre of Russian Orthodox life in Sydney until the early 1950s.

По истории прихода, средства собирали на постройку храма в Дарлингхёрсте, но из-за войны строительство не состоялось, и на собранные деньги приход купил жилой дом, который переоборудовали под церковь и квартиры причта. В 1942 году церковь открылась в этом доме на Робертсон-роуд, 31 и до начала 1950-х годов оставалась центром русской православной жизни Сиднея.
