History
File:St Peter and St Paul Anglican Church Ottawa Interior.jpg
St. George's was built as a Methodist Episcopal church at the corner of Metcalfe and Gloucester and was purchased in 1885 as an Anglican church. The first Anglican service in the church was held on May 31, 1885. The main spire was set ablaze after being struck by lightning twice on June 28, 1898. In 1906, the congregation erected a parish hall. Bishop John Charles Roper consecrated the church on October 14, 1928. St. George's purchased a rectory around 1929. St. George's marked their centennial with renovations to the church and parish hall in 1985.{{cite web
