St. Andrew's United Methodist Church
522 Missouri Ave. - c.1904; c.1915
This beautiful church building shows influences of Louis Sullivan with
its hipped roof forms and friezes. The church features a series of
towers and turrets of different heights that project from a hipped roof.
The base of the building is of rusticated stone and the body of the church
is constructed with yellow brick. Windows in the building are both
rectangular and arched. An entrance porch on the southeast corner of
the building curves between two of the towers of the building. A three
story rectangular education annex was constructed to the west of the church
around 1915. It matches the church's brick, but it much more blocky in
massing and lacks all of the fine detailing of the church. |
