[5] With the mortgage debt being paid off in December 1892, the Church was cleared for Consecration, which occurred on the Feast of St. Paul's on 25 January 1893.

[6] In June 1898, the third phase of construction took place with the chancel being enlarged, a baptistry and a chapel being built and altar steps and reredos being installed.

[10] As a new hospital for George Washington University was planned to be built nearby, the US Federal Government bought the property and the old building was closed at the end of 1944.

[18] The first written record of the Reservation of the Blessed Sacrament dates from November 1912, but the practice might go back to 1893 when the Tabernacle was gifted and built into the High Altar.

The first organist of the parish, John F. Franklin, began training a vested boys' choir as early as in spring 1869.

For many years, the boy and girl choristers have sung Evensong on Sunday afternoon weekly, together with a group of tenors and basses.
