It is also presented as representative of regional craftsmen and architects, especially Robert North, a leading Buffalo church architect of the first half of the twentieth century. The church closely follows English parish church Gothic traditions and High Church ideas.","narrative":"Built between 1921 and 1927 and completed in 1928, St. Andrew's Episcopal Church on Main Street in Buffalo's University Heights area is a Neo-Gothic church of local cream and gray stone with Indiana limestone trim and a red clay tile roof. Architect Robert North designed it in the English parish church tradition, with an open timber ceiling, arcades of pointed arches, a deep raised chancel, side chapels and a large Perpendicular-style west window. The lot also holds a 1910 Queen Anne rectory of concrete block cast to resemble rusticated stone, and a matching garage. The church was dedicated to Bishop Charles Henry Brent, and its congregation began in 1873 as a German-language Sunday school. Furnishings include a Crucifixion group and lamps brought from the earlier church, along with sculpture by Leslie Nobbs. The property was listed for its architecture, with a period of significance from 1910 to 1954, when the last important interior changes were made.","period_of_significance":"1910-1954","architect_builder":"Robert North (church architect); Robert E.

The rectory is no longer lived in by the rector, is often empty and serves partly as the parish office, and is described as adequately maintained and in good condition.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:48.804475-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/10000333.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/10000333/6832cf38c1-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/10000333/6832cf38c1-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Pubdog (talk)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:St._Andrew%27s_Episcopal_Church_Buffalo_NY_Aug_10.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Pubdog (talk)</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:St._Andrew%27s_Episcopal_Church_Buffalo_NY_Aug_10.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75317707","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Andrew%27s_Episcopal_Church_(Buffalo,_New_York)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7586856"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/erie-county/st-andrews-episcopal-church-10000333/"}
