Project Details back to index Saint George's Episcopal Church A historic church with colonial period roots reconnects with its historic past. The present St. George’s Church building was built in 1849. It was the third to be constructed on this site. The first was a wooden structure built in the 1730s; the second, a more substantial brick building, was erected in 1815. It was during the earliest period in St. George’s history (1738) that the family of George Washington moved to the area. In time, they, as well as friends and relations famous in the founding of this country, attended services here. Paint analysis and research based on church archives revealed that the church’s current off-white scheme was out of character with the original intent of the architect. With this in mind Thomas Moore Studios devised a painted decoration and design that recalled its earlier Romanesque-Revival charm.
