Inscription. St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church had been organized by the spring of 1828. It incorporated under an act of the Territory of Michigan in 1833. One year later the congregation bought land on this site from newspaper editor George Corselius for $105. The first church, a small wooden structure, was consecrated in 1838 and enlarged in 1856. St. Andrew’s hired architect Gordon W. Lloyd to design this Gothic Revival church. His design was built in stages: the sanctuary was completed in 1869; the chapel and a rectory called Tatlock Hall, in 1881; and the church tower, in 1903. Tiles made by Pewabic Pottery were added to the interior floor in 1914. The cloister was added in 1932. Hammet and O’Dell Associated Architects designed the 1950 Parish Hall, which replaced Tatlock Hall.

St. Andrew’s is Ann Arbor’s oldest church building in continuous use and has earned state and local preservation awards. The church helped establish nearby Episcopal churches in the mid-twentieth century: St. Clare of Assisi in Ann Arbor (1952), St. Barnabas in Chelsea (1954) and St. Aidan’s in Ann Arbor (1967). In 1970, St. Andrew’s joined and financially

In 1982, St. Andrew’s and the IFCC founded the Shelter Association of Washtenaw County to house homeless individuals. That same year, the church began serving free breakfast daily in the parish hall. The church has also supported the Interfaith Council for Peace and Justice.
