St George's Church, Fredericksburg, VA ca. 1815

The original St. George’s church, along with its two additions, was torn down in 1813-1814. Built of brick in 1815, the new (second) church was aligned with the Fredericksburg grid that we see today, not “caddy-corner”, like the original. No known images of this second church survice, just Mutual Assurance policies which give us basic materials and dimensions. Artistic license was used for the general aesthetic composition of the church, based on other churches from the period in the area, as well as buildings constructed by George and Robert Ellis, two prolific builders in Fredericksburg at the time.
