Iglesia Presbiteriana San Andrés (Centro)
Iglesia Presbiteriana San Andrés del Centro (St. Andrew's Scotch Presbyterian Church) is a Presbyterian church in Buenos Aires, located in the Monserrat neighborhood near the Otto Wulff building. It was founded to help the Scottish community, with its first minister, William Brown, serving until 1850. The original church stood on Piedras Street (now Avenida de Mayo) in Monserrat.
Around 1890–1896, construction began on a new church on Avenida Belgrano between Peru and Bolivar streets. British architects Edwin Arthur Merry and Charles Raynes designed it, and the work was completed in 1896. The original tower was demolished in 1950 to widen Belgrano Avenue, and the current facade dates from 1962. Spanish-language services began in 1912, led by minister José Felices, who was born in Spain.
