A VOTE FOR CAP ... THE BEST OPTION TO SAVE ST. PAULS

The Garden City Historical Society (TGCHS) advocates for responsible and affordable preservation of all historic structures in Garden City.

The preservation of The Cathedral School of St. Paul is a priority for us.

Why?

🔹Maintaining the building’s listing on the National Register of Historic Places is important to preserving the character of the Village.

🔹St. Paul’s is one of the main reasons our Village is unique among all Long Island communities.

🔹Paul Goldberger, Pulitzer Prize winner for architecture criticism at The New York Times, wrote:

“St. Paul’s School is far more than a landmark in Garden City—it is one of the great works of the Gothic Revival in the United States, and along with the Cathedral of the Incarnation it stands as one of the key buildings by the American architect John Kellum and the British architect Henry G. Harrison.”

ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18TH, VOTE CAP, ROW B ... IT OFFERS US THE BEST OPTION TO SAVE ST. PAULS
