St. Andrew's Episcopal Church is an Anglo-catholic church in Denver, Colorado, United States. It is a Gothic style church built c.1907-1909 that was designed by architect Ralph Adams Cram. It was dedicated January 17, 1909 as Trinity Memorial Church and was renamed to St. Andrews in 1917. [2]

The church had its beginning as Trinity Memorial Chapel, initially organized as a mission school by the St. John's Church Sunday School, and located near 26th and Curtis streets in Denver. The cornerstone for the chapel was laid on March 18, 1874 by Bishop John Franklin Spalding, making that structure the second Episcopal church building in Denver. The bishop named the Rev. Walter H. Moore as its first rector. [3] Father Moore had graduated from General Theological Seminary a few years earlier. The Rev. Charles H. Marshall served as rector from 1880 to 1895. Father Marshall enlarged the building to a capacity of 350. His successors, the Rev. D.L.V. Moffett and the Rev. C. Y. Grimes, paid off the remaining debt, and established an excellent choir. [4]

The distinguished architect Cram, of Cram and Ferguson in Boston, Massachusetts, was commissioned to design the building for Alexis Dupont Parker as a memorial to his wife. Parker was a magnate of the Colorado and Southern Railway who was educated in the Episcopal ministry, and was president of the board of the Colorado diocese of the Episcopal Church. [2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. [1]

Expanded in 2008 to a design in keeping with Cram's original plans for a larger church, St. Andrew's now seats 175 in a sanctuary that includes works by Denver artists Marion Buchan and Albert Byron Olson. The parish house is by Denver architect Jacques Benedict.
