Church of Saint Andrew, Liverpool, Greek Revival church in Liverpool, England.
The Church of Saint Andrew is a Classical structure featuring a prominent ashlar facade with Ionic columns at the corners and twin towers crowned by small decorative domes. The stone work shows careful craftsmanship typical of early 19th-century Liverpool architecture.
Architect John Foster designed this structure in 1823 with construction completing in 1824 during an era of architectural ambition in Liverpool. The building received Grade II listed status in recognition of its historical importance.
The building reflects early 19th-century Presbyterian design and shows the Scottish influence that shaped Liverpool's growth during that period. This architectural style remains visible in its stone work and structural details today.
The building underwent comprehensive restoration work in 2015 and now functions as student housing under the name St Andrew's Place. You can view the exterior architecture from the street, though the interior spaces are not open to the public.
Adjacent to the building stands the Mackenzie Monument, a granite pyramid housing a railway contractor who requested an unusual burial in a sitting position. This memorial remains a rare reminder of Victorian funeral customs.
