St. Andrew's Episcopal Church

St. Andrew's was built 1876-80 after designs by architect Alexander Ross of Inverness.


An arcaded reredos lines the east wall with three Gothic cusped arches on each side of the altar framing a low relief and gablet of a Salviati mosaic of the Crucifixion.



Salviati is also believed to have manufactured the mosaic floors of the 1880 Baptistry.
