15. St. Andrew's Catholic Church, circa 1965 - A black and white photograph of St. Andrew's Catholic Church in Roanoke, Virginia taken circa 1965. The church is located at 631 North Jefferson Street. This view shows the apse on the left side and the two steeple towers of the church front entrance on the right side. St. Andrew's Catholic Church was designed by William P. Ginter. It sits on one of the highest hills in Roanoke and is visible from many locations throughout the downtown area. Ground breaking for the current church was held on December 2, 1900 and was dedicated on November 25, 1902. The Victorian Gothic building features two identical French Gothic spires that flank the western facade of the building. The exterior of the church is buff brick and Ohio sandstone, which gives the building it unique and beautiful appearance. One of the most interesting features of the church are the 15 unique stained glass windows. The window on the east side, over the baptismal depicts St. Andrew standing beside the cross, which is the implement of his martyrdom. Other windows feature St. Peter, St. Paul, St. Elizabeth of Hungary, St. Aloysius and St. Vincent DePaul. Perhaps the most interesting window is "The Last Supper," which shows Jesus with several of the apostles. The apostles surround Jesus as he distributes the bread and wine, transformed into His Body and Blood. The main sanctuary at St. Andrews has seating for 800-people in simple wooden pews. Today, St. Andrews is the center for a growing Catholic congregation and is home to the private Roanoke Catholic Schools. - Source/Credit: Virginia Department of Historic Resources and St. Andrews Catholic Church.
