Photograph shows St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church at the corner of Blackwood and Carnarvon streets. This print is from an original postcard. This redbrick church was built on a stone foundation. It was built in Late Gothic Revival style by the architect G.W. Grant in 1888-91. The wooden building seen beside it, to the right, was the first St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church built in 1863 and the first Presbyterian Church on the mainland of British Columbia. When the new brick church as built this wooden building was used by the congregation as a lecture room. See supplement to the daily "New Westminster Columbian" Dec. 1903, p. 33. In 1930, repairs were done and Sloan and Harrison Construction removed the steeple. Later the brick building was used as Emmanuel Pentecostal Church and the wooden building was used as its church hall. |
