Why should the beautiful die?
Built in 1905–1909, St. Andrew’s was designed by Carpenter & Crocker, who seem to have been favorites among the Episcopalians of Pittsburgh: they also designed the parish house for the cathedral downtown and St. James’ in Homewood, now the Church of the Holy Cross. This building is dominated by its outsized tower.
Very grouchy gargoyles guard the tower.
An ornamental pinnacle on one corner of the tower.
The side entrance, with one of its lanterns.

Thank you for these — what a gift! I’m part of the community at St. Andrew’s and would love to use some of your photos in materials for an upcoming capital campaign. We’d credit Father Pitt, of course. These images capture the building beautifully. Let me know if you have any questions!
Yes, you can use the pictures for any purpose, and it’s delightful to see that they’re useful to someone. You don’t even need to ask permission (although old Pa Pitt always loves to hear from readers), because all the pictures here are released to the public domain with a CC0 public-domain dedication.
