St. Paul’s Conservancy welcomes all to support the preservation of St. Paul’s main building & grounds

The St. Paul’s Conservancy was established in 2006 to preserve St. Paul’s School, an irreplaceable historic landmark. Historic buildings such as St. Paul’s are more than structures — they are part of a community’s identity and heritage. Once lost, they cannot be recreated.The St. Paul’s Conservancy exists to ensure this landmark continues to serve a purpose: honoring the past, supporting present-day community needs, and creating opportunities for the future.

Pulitzer Prize winner, author, and architecture critic Paul Goldberger has said, “St. Paul’s School is far more than a landmark in Garden City – it is one of the greatest works of the Gothic Revival in the United States along with the Cathedral of the Incarnation.”

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978, the 19th-century masterpiece is an architectural icon and sits in the heart of Garden City. The St. Paul’s Conservancy is pleased to be working alongside The Garden City Historical Society (TGCHS) to preserve this significant piece of our shared history. Several prominent Garden City residents have also stepped up to support the Conservancy.

Residents, businesses, and all concerned citizens are invited to become a permanent part of the property through the St. Paul’s Conservancy’s “Buy-a-Brick” fundraising campaign. Each donor will have a virtual brick added to the St. Paul’s Conservancy website.

Donations can be made at: https://givebutter.com/st-pauls-conservancy-buy-a-brick-fund-raiser-6utk7z.

Participation in this campaign will help preserve the property and advance the efforts toward its purposeful re-use. The IRS recognized the St Paul’s Conservancy as a qualified 501 (c)(3) in 2006 and all donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

The Conservancy’s initial priorities for the St. Paul’s Campus include:

• Preserving the building’s historic integrity and architecture
• Preserving the unique architecture and character of our community
• Exploring sustainable, community-focused future uses
• Developing a long-term plan that balances preservation with practicality
• Protecting an irreplaceable landmark for future generations

The members of the St. Paul’s Conservancy bring together more than 200 years of combined expertise in historic preservation, combined with skills in architectural design, building restoration, construction, engineering, community development, nonprofit leadership, fundraising, financial acumen, legal expertise, corporate and community governance, public affairs, and general communications.
