Resource Description:
The four-story tower of St. Andrews acts as a visual landmark defining the northernmost district boundary. Constructed in 1927, the Romanesque Revival style church embodies architectural qualities often found in northern Italy. Montgomery utilized a common basilica plan, with arch arcaded narthex and chapel arcade with Corinthian columns. The Venetian artist, Carlo Wostry, painted The Stations of the Cross and other murals. While the rectory is technically an intrusion due to its construction in 1958, the garden between the two buildings provides a peaceful contrast to the nearby freeway.
