St. Andrew's House, Alexander Ross, 1880. This picturesquely grouped former Episcopalian School and Schoolhouse (now two houses) is a fitting match for its church below, with Freestyle gothic detailing rendered in red bull-faced granite and contrasting sandstone dressings. House at east end has entrance in base of conical roofed round tower; school to west has roof sweeping down over arcaded entrance cloister (dormers a later addition).
