Old Saint Andrew's Church

The Gothic Revival style defines the exterior of Old Saint Andrew's Church. Located at 317 Florida Avenue in downtown Jacksonville, this church building was designed by architect Robert Sands Schuyler. It is a site of local significance that was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on May 4, 1976. While it functioned for years as a place of worship, it closed as an Episcopal church in 1960 because the parish relocated to the suburbs. The City of Jacksonville purchased the building in the 1990s to ensure its preservation. Today, the Jacksonville Historical Society manages the site, and the building now serves as an event venue for the community.
