Built in 1893, St. Andrew's United Church is a good example of Late Victorian church architecture. It was designed by architect Warren H. Hayes, who is credited with the development of the diagonal form of auditorium. He designed a number of buildings throughout the United States including the Scottish Rite Temple in Minneapolis and Central Presbyterian Church in St. Paul, Minnesota and is known to have provided the plans for at least two other churches in Canada. A large hall at the rear, built in 1927, features a two-storey auditorium with a balcony. The church retains much of its original character despite some later alterations, most notably a stucco finish over the original brick walls.
