Statement of Interest

Ecclesiastical building in use as such. In September 1896 plans were submitted to the Church Improvements Committee by the Aberdeen Architect A. Marshall Mackenzie for the remodelling of the interior and an external addition. A new entrance porch was to be built on the George Street elevation, a passageway flanked by a partition of Cathedral glass was to run round the back of the church, and the seating laid out in a fan arrangement facing east. Two doorways on Baltic Street were to act as exits. St Andrew's church was dedicated as such in 1977, and results from the unification of St George and Trinity church with that of St Luke and St John.
