St. Andrew's Episcopal Church is a special old building in Port Angeles, Washington. It is located at 206 South Peabody Street. This historic building is also known as the Salvation Army Citadel Corps. Today, it serves as the Salvation Army Corps Community Center.
History of the Building
This building was first built in 1905. It was designed in the Gothic Revival style. This style often includes pointed arches and tall windows. It makes buildings look like old European churches.
Early Years as a Church
Between 1905 and 1914, a separate hall was added. This hall was built just south of the main chapel. St. Andrew's officially became a parish in 1946. A parish is a local church community.
New Church and New Purpose
By 1966, the church community had grown too large. The small chapel could no longer hold everyone. So, a new church was built about 1 mile (1.6 km) south. This new church was on East Park Avenue.
The original building was then sold. The Salvation Army bought it. They still use the building today. It serves as their Corps Community Center. This center helps people in the community.
