St. George's United Methodist Church
St. George's United Methodist Church, Methodist church in Old City, Philadelphia, United States.
St. George's Church structure stands at the intersection of 4th and New Streets, featuring a traditional colonial style with white brick walls and arched windows.
Founded in 1769, this Methodist church conducted the first three conferences of American Methodism in the 1770s and remained active through the American Revolution period.
The departure of Richard Allen and Absalom Jones in 1787 due to racial segregation led to the creation of two new African American religious institutions.
The church opens its museum and archives from Tuesday to Thursday between 9 AM and 3 PM, with Saturday tours available through advance reservations.
Engineers modified the Benjamin Franklin Bridge design in the 1920s to maintain a protective buffer zone around this religious structure.
