St. Andrews Episcopal Church, Mediterranean Revival church in Jacksonville, Florida
St. Andrews Episcopal Church is a Mediterranean Revival style building distinguished by a prominent front corner tower topped with a louvered belfry and steep spire rising approximately 120 feet (36 meters). Its restored interior features a cruciform layout with spaces designed to accommodate gatherings, weddings, and various events.
Construction took place in 1887, and it remains the only major church structure in Jacksonville to survive the devastating Great Fire of 1901 intact. This distinction makes it a key witness to the city's history and its recovery from that disaster.
The building now serves as home to the Jacksonville Historical Society and hosts community gatherings and educational events. You can see how the spaces are used by local groups and organizations throughout the year.
The building is located on A. Philip Randolph Boulevard and available for meetings, weddings, and gatherings through arrangement. The restored interior spaces are flexible and adaptable, so a call ahead is recommended to confirm what is accessible during your visit or to discuss hosting an event.
The interior preserves careful craftsmanship in Florida pine woodwork, mahogany doors, and yellow pine paneled ceilings that reflect regional material choices and building traditions. These details reveal how local resources and skilled labor went into creating this 19th-century structure.
