Church of St. Andrew, Dublin, in process of erection, 1862. The original church, with the exception of the tower, was destroyed by fire in January, 1860. The new plans were by Messrs. Lanyon, Lynn, and Lanyon, of Belfast. 'The design is in the style of the Early Decorated period of Gothic architecture, and the new church, when completed, will be capable of holding 1000 persons...The foundation-stone of St. Andrew's Church was laid by his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant...in presence of a large assemblage of ladies and gentlemen, which included the leading Protestant parishioners and many of the most respectable citizens of Dublin'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
