Andrews Chapel, Log church in McIntosh, Alabama.

Andrews Chapel, also called the McIntosh Log Church, is a Methodist chapel built of squared logs with square notched corners and a wood shingle roof. It stands beside a newer church building erected in 1952. It is one of only a few remaining log churches in Alabama.

John Rush and his wife gave land in 1860 for the construction of this chapel. It was named after Methodist bishop James O Andrews, who was influential in the region during that time.

The building shows how communities in the 1800s created gathering spaces from simple materials found nearby. The construction method with log walls and handmade joints reveals the practical skills people used in everyday building.

Andrews Chapel stands on U.S. Highway 43 in McIntosh, beside the newer 1952 church built next to it. The building is included in the Historic American Buildings Survey as No. AL-866, recorded under its highway address in Washington County.

The building preserves the original technique of square notching at corners and the special sealing method used in the wall cracks. These handmade details show how craftspeople achieved durability without modern materials.
