Inscription.
St. George's Church. Old Parish House and Graveyard. This notable Gothic Revival church is the congregation's third building on the site since 1746. The building's large size reflects the importance of Flushing as a major regional center in the 19th century. Erected in 1853-54, St. George's Church is a significant example of ecclesiological church architecture and a rare surviving work of notable architects, Wills and Dudley. Eccesiology was a philosophical reform movement that sought spiritual renewal by returning to the rituals and architectural forms of the medieval church. Additions include an 1894 chancel wing and a 1907 Neo-Gothic Parish House. Designed by prominent architect Charles C. Haight, the graveyard contains gravestones and memorials dating from the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
