Even though I had visited the Flager Memorial Church before, it took until my History Episode Nr.2 for me to fully understand its significance.
Not only did it have a significant impact on St.Augustine as a community in that it significantly enriched the religious, cultural, and social life of the city, it also was of great architectural importance. Built in the style of the Venetian Renaissance, the building unified several architectural styles such as Romanesque, Greek, Gothic and Byzantine in a magnificent way. Additionally, the Church is unique in that it is among the first large-scale mass-concrete constructions in Florida since Roman times.
