Notes

2005-07-10 - St. George's is the chapel of All Saints Episcopal in Rehoboth Beach, DE. -Database Manager

2013-02-19 - Updated through online information from David M Storey. -- The organ was listed in the Organ Clearing House in 1992 as # 1297, original builder and date unknown. The organ was largely a mixture of disparate parts. In 2002, David Storey built the current instrument using pipes and case from the remains of the former instrument. The manuals are tracker action on a slider chest. Pedal is electric action, 1 flute rank playing at 16, 8 and 4 with hitchdown pedals as stop controls. New pipes were added to make the current stoplist and all was voiced for the room. New slider wind chest and mechanical key and stop action. The organ dedication concert was played by Bryan G.Rowe, June 3, 2003. -Database Manager

2025-03-17 - Additional worship site, part of All Saints Parish, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. From the church history web page: St. George’s Chapel, Established 1719. Long before the founding of the nation and the Episcopal Church, the people living in the Indian River Hundred – then mostly a farming community – felt the need for a place of worship. They came together to establish St. George’s Chapel in Harbeson in 1719. The original chapel was constructed of wood and was a gathering place for 73 years until it was destroyed in a fire in 1792. The current brick chapel was constructed in 1794. The chapel was redesigned in 1850 and remodeled again in 1882 in a Victorian Gothic style. In 1966, an extensive restoration brought the building back to its original design and appearance. In the 1990s, the parish purchased additional farmland across from the chapel in order to build a parish hall with a full-size kitchen, offices, and classrooms, as well as a parking lot. Recently, a beautiful meditative prayer garden and outdoor labyrinth was added to the wooded area of this parcel. -Paul R. Marchesano
