Abstract:

St. Andrews Protestant Episcopal Church is the last frame church in the central business district. It served the black Episcopal congregation until 1970. Archdeacon William George Avant organized St. Andrews in 1903. By 1951, the church was in such bad condition that the church members met in the home of Winnie Godette. In 1953, the church was re-dedicated after receiving a gradual flow of contributions and becoming a mission church of St. Paul's Episcopal Church. The churches merged in 1970.
