St Andrew's-by-the-Green, Georgian church in Glasgow, United Kingdom.

The stone building features rectangular windows, detailed cornices, and a symmetrical front facade near the corner of Turnbull Street and Greendyke Street.

Construction of St Andrew's-by-the-Green started in 1750 under architect Andrew Hunter, making it the first Episcopalian church built in Glasgow since the Reformation.

The church installation of the first public worship organ in Glasgow led local residents to name it the Whistlin Kirk in the 18th century.

The building now functions as the headquarters of the Glasgow Association for Mental Health following renovations funded by a £600,000 campaign in 1985.

The original organ, constructed by John Snetzler in 1747, found its final home at the University of Glasgow Concert Hall after several relocations.
