St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, Collierville, Tennessee

St Andrew's Episcopal, Collierville, Detail

St. Andrew's Episcopal Church is located on the rear west side of the historic Collierville Town Square. Collierville is a suburb outside Memphis, Tennessee.

The cornerstone of this lovely Gothic Revival church was laid on April 22, 1890, and the original bell, made in 1891 by by Meneely Bell Co. in New York, is still being used today. The medallions in the stained glass windows, as seen in the detail photo, have red borders and deep blue backgrounds, and are of French origin. All of these stained glass windows were part of the original church construction. As you can see, this property is currently undergoing a bit of work...it is a beautiful, well-maintained historic structure.
