description

Summary

Significance: St. Barnabas is one of six extant Colonial-era churches in Prince George's County, and one of only two executed in the Colonial, Georgian style. This, Queen Anne's, Parish is also among the oldest parishes in the county, having been established by an act of assembly in 1704. Due to its long and active associations with some of the county's most prominent families, St. Barnabas exemplifies the social, religious and historical heritage of the county and state. The current church was constructed in 1774 to replace the second church on this site. In the 1850s, it was renovated and remodeled, with Victorian detailing added. It was eventually restored to its original appearance in 1974.
