St. Andrew's Episcopal Church
St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, Religious structure in Prairieville, Alabama.
The Gothic Revival church features vertical board siding, pointed-arch windows, and a steeply pitched gabled roof on three acres along County Highway 12.
Enslaved laborers and master carpenters from Henry Augustine Tayloe's Gallion plantation constructed the Episcopal church building in 1853 following Richard Upjohn's design principles.
The interior woodwork displays traditional tobacco staining techniques, reflecting the architectural preferences and craftsmanship methods of mid-19th century Alabama religious buildings.
The Episcopal Diocese of Alabama maintains the church building, which continues to welcome visitors and congregation members for services and historical tours.
The National Historic Landmark designation in 1973 recognizes this structure as an exceptional example of Carpenter Gothic architecture in the American South.
