The church was built before the year ended. It was named for James Osgood Andrew, a bishop in the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The squared-log building features square notched corners and a wood shingle roof. A new church building was built in 1952 adjacent to the chapel. The chapel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 20 November 1974.Source: Wikipedia contributors. "Andrews Chapel (McIntosh, Alabama)." Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia.
