When St. George's Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Grimsby celebrated its 50th anniversary it commissioned four new paintings and two additions to the front face of the sanctuary to hold them. This original facade was built into an existing church when the Ukrainian community settled into the Niagara Peninsula in the mid forties. The two, matching additions were to extend from the facade along each side and had to match the existing style. H.James Co. contracted to construct, paint and install these additions. Besides standard trimming and cabinet making, the work involved making a plaster cast of an existing medallion and extensive cutting, shaping and fitting of layers for the upper scroll work. Each unit stands over twelve feet tall
