St. Andrew's Episcopal Church
Post
St. Andrew's Episcopal Church 4917 Fourth Avenue Designed by Lawrence B. Valk & Son 1893 This Romanesque Revival church is Sunset Park’s oldest church. Valk was a prolific designer of churches throughout the United States, many in this same Romanesque style. The church is graced with many unusual and charming features, including the arches of varying heights and widths on the front façade and a skinny column running up the side of its bell tower, capped with a small turret and modest cross.
