Andrews Memorial Chapel

Andrews Memorial Chapel is a Gothic Revival structure in Dunedin featuring pointed arch windows and decorative rose windows on its west facade. The building displays classic ornamental stonework and interior details characteristic of 19th century religious architecture.

The chapel was built in 1888 as a Presbyterian church and initially sat at a different location in town. A notable relocation happened in 1970 when workers separated the structure into two halves to move it to its current site.

The Dunedin Historical Society maintains this former Presbyterian church building, which now functions as a venue for weddings, concerts, and community events.

The site is easily accessible and offers plenty of space to explore the building's exterior and architectural features. Plan your visit by checking ahead for any access restrictions or special events that might be happening.

The building was taken apart in two sections and reassembled during a controlled operation, an uncommon example of mid-20th century building rescue. This unusual preservation method represents an interesting chapter in how communities saved their architectural heritage.
