St. George's Methodist Church Taylor, Frank H. (Frank Hamilton), 1846-1927 Depicts a large white building shaded by trees and identified as being the birthplace of Methodism. This venerated structure, upon Fourth Street above Race Street, narrowly escaped removal to make way for the approach of the Delaware River bridge. This is the birth place of Methodism, which dates from 1773. The first Missionary Society was organized here as well as the great Methodist Book Concern.
