THE
BUILDER OF THE HOUSE,
KOSTAS
CHRISTODOULOU
Kostas Christodoulou (1878 - 1972) was an important personality,
not only in the field of commerce, but also in the social and political
spheres. He was member of the National Council, Municipal Councillor, Member
of the Ecclesiastical Committee of Faneromeni Church for forty years and
a member of the School Committee of Nicosia. He was also one of the founders
of the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry in 1927. In these capacities
he contributed greatly to the public affairs of Cyprus and of Nicosia,
and particularly in the fields of education, culture and charity. He also
personally donated to these causes.
His contribution in the creation of Faneromeni Library was of fundamental
importance. The new cemetery church of Saints Constantine and Helena was
built thanks to his generosity. The community of Kakopetria proclaimed
Kostas Christodoulou a benefactor on account of his contribution to the
village, where, among other things, he built the dormitories for campers
from the Sunday Schools of Nicosia near the Monastery of Saint Nicholas
of the Roof.
