The church of St. Mary and St. George was designed following the patterns of the Gothic style prevalent in 14th century rural England.
It's a good example of the Gothic revival style that has been present in Canada since the second quarter of the 19th century.

At the time of the building's construction, the Anglican Church (Church of England) was undergoing a revival of Anglo-Catholic ritualism, suggesting that Gothic was the appropriate style for a parish church in order to cultivate spirituality; believing that there is a direct link between the spiritual and the physical, between the architectural setting of worship and the spiritual experience of worship.

In Canada, this trend became so prevalent that one could refer to it as Canadian Gothic Revival.

However, the attempt to associate the style not only with spirituality but also with Anglo-Catholic theology was not so generalized.
In the case of St. Mary and St. George Parish, the style was adopted solely for its aesthetic romantic and spiritual qualities.

Built in 1928, the church is primarily Decorated Gothic with Perpendicular Gothic details, while its tower finished in 1932 follows the Norman Gothic style.
The church is one of the few remaining examples of mid-eighteenth century ecclesiastical architecture in Western Canada.
As a building significant in the human history of Jasper, Alberta, as well as of the utmost importance for the architectural history of Canada, it was declared a provincial historic resource in 1985.
