St. George's Episcopal Church is located at 209 East 16th Street, Manhattan, New York City, New York. It faces Stuyvesant Square. It was built in 1856 to house the congregation which had moved from Beekman street in Lower Manhattan. The architecture is influenced by the St.Louis church in Munich. It is famous for its congregants, J. P. Morgan as well as Harry Thacker Burleigh, the spiritual singer and classical composer who performed in the choir for 50 years.

There was a fire in 1865 which destroyed the roof, after which the two spires were removed..

In 1975, this parish merged to two others to form the Calvary-St George parish. [ [http://stgeorgesnyc.dioceseny.org/about/history.php Official History] ]
