George Street United Church

The stone structure features pointed arches, lancet windows, and large stained glass windows, with an exposed timber hammerbeam roof in the main hall.

Built in 1873 under architect Elijah Hoole's design, the church survived the Great Fire of 1892 and became part of the United Church of Canada in 1925.

The church served as the second Methodist congregation in St. John's, following Gower Street, and hosted the First Methodist Conference of Newfoundland in 1874.

The building underwent two major expansions: a gallery and transepts addition in 1908, followed by a gymnasium and classrooms construction in 1959.

The entire structure uses local stone from Southside Hills in St. John's and maintains its original wood beams and cross structures from 1873.
