Church of St. Andrew and St. Monica

The Church of St. Andrew & St. Monica (originally St. Andrew's Protestant Episcopalian Church) is an Episcopal church located in Powelton Village, Philadelphia in the United States. It is part of the Powelton Village Historic District within West Philadelphia. It is built with rough stone and schist, and has trimmings of limestone and brownstone.^[1]

The congregation, which has its origins in the St. Mark congregation in the early 19th century,^[2] was founded in October 1865, where a cornerstone was laid on the intersection of 36th and Baring St. The first service was held on July 8, 1866. The congregation eventually outgrew the church, leading to efforts starting in the 1880s to expand the church. A new design in Gothic Revival style was chosen,^[3] which began construction in Fall 1883. The design was created by Wilson Brothers & Company architectural firm, and was constructed by Charles D. Supplee & Son.^[4]

In 1897, it was partially rebuilt and refinished after a fire.^[5] It was consecrated on June 3, 1917.^[6] In 1963, it was added to the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places.^[7][8] It merged with the Church of St. Monica to become its current form in 1966.^[5]
