St Andrews Church

corner Curtis Road and Darling Street, 1855. Organ: J. W. Walker, 1867.

Designed by Goold and Field (although the church hall, 1871, is by James McDonald). Less ambitious in scale and complexity than the Campbell Street church, this building is in Decorated Gothic style, with mullioned windows and trefoil tracery. As in the Campbell Street church, the spire is octagonal above a rectangular entrance porch: however, St Andrews’ spire is smaller and plainer, and the porch has a single door rather than the triple doors seen at the later church.

The church is open during the Saturday market, giving visitors a chance to admire the fine cedar joinery and beautifully decorated organ.
