County Administration Center
In 1933, George became chairman of the Civic Center Committee. On July 16, 1938, at age 87, he realized his last civic effort and long-held dream with the building's dedication, designed by Sam W. Hamill, William Templeton Johnson, Richard Requa, and Louis Gill.

The inscriptions that grace the entrances also describe George's philosophies. "The Noblest Motive is the Public Good" and "Good Government Demands the Intelligent Interest of every Citizen."
