| History/Origin | Nicholas Liveris was born on 28 February 1916 on the island of Kastellorizo (Megisti), Greece. In 1918, at the age of two, he arrived in Darwin with his mother, Maria Andrea Liveris. His parents, Andreas and Maria Liveris, were among the Greek settlers who established themselves in Darwin in the early twentieth century. After the death of his father during his childhood, Nicholas left formal schooling and trained as an apprentice carpenter. He undertook paid work to support his family, while his mother supported the household through laundry and other work. His brothers were George Liveris and Lazarus (Les) Liveris. Nicholas later established a building business known as Progressive Builders, which operated from premises in McMinn Street, Darwin. Through this business, he undertook building work on a range of projects in Darwin prior to Cyclone Tracy, including work on early courthouse and parliament buildings and the Uniting Church on Smith Street. His workforce included migrant and Aboriginal workers. He married Evangelia Liveris (née Fronis) in his late thirties. The couple raised their family in Darwin, where their children were born and educated. Nicholas Liveris died on 20 November 1968, aged 52, and is buried in Darwin, Northern Territory. |
