ABSTRACT
The Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul, Montreal:
An Architectural History 1805-1932, and Catalogue of Memorials
Sandra M. Coley
1993
This thesis examines the five building campaigns
undertaken by the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul between 1805 and 1932 in Montreal,
beginning with the first St. Andrew's Church which opened in 1807; its second genesis in
1851; the first St. Paul's, opened in 1834 and relocated in 1868; and the present Church
of St. Andrew and St. Paul, on the corner of Sherbrooke and Redpath streets, completed in
1932.
The thesis contains a chapter in the form of catalogue
raisonné on the history and provenance of the church's memorials (dating from 1870-1948),
including eighteen stained glass windows and examples of ornamental metal work and
textiles. Most of these memorials were incorporated into the current church building from
the earlier churches.
In addition to the topic's inherent interest, this study
contributes to an understanding of architectural practice and social history in Montreal
during this 125 year period and provides a model for future research.
