St. John's Episcopal Church, Georgetown

 * ... that St. John's Episcopal Church, Georgetown in Washington, D.C., founded in 1796, closed down in 1831 before reopening seven years later? Source: "In 1796, a foundation was laid [for St. John's]. St. John’s was closed in 1831. In 1838...the church building [was] return[ed]...to sacred use." (Our History: St. John's Timeline)

 * Long enough (over 2k characters); new enough (begun on 5 May); 5 different footnote sources (3 primary, 2 secondary); clear on copyvio check (3.8% with Earwig tool); No image suggested; QPQ done. Hook is fine - although I'd prefer a fact that was referenced to a source that wasn't its own website; nonetheless it's an uncontroversial fact. Ergo Sum, perhaps something like how the church was funded by the third US president, its first navy secretary, author of the national anthem, and designed by the architect of the capitol building.[ref to footnote 2, which is third-party]? Also - if the hook says "Georgetown" I'd suggest clarifying to the D.C. USA, because there's a lot of Georgetowns. Otherwise, Symbol confirmed.svg :-) Wittylama 15:41, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I've rephrased so that Georgetown is part of the bolded link and Washington, D.C. is specified.  Ergo Sum  02:30, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
