St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, Suva (must see)

Surrounded by a white picket fence, St. Andrews Presbyterian Church is one of the oldest wooden buildings in Fiji. On September 29, 1883, the Fiji Times (known then as the Suva Times) ran a story announcing the official opening of the church for public worship. Once associated primarily with the colonial settler families, it slowly absorbed a wider community including students from the Pacific Theological College and the University of the South Pacific. Today, it features a Facebook page and still offers regular services led by Rev. Dr. Bruce Yeates.

The St. Andrews Presbyterian Church is a folk Gothic Revival building with a front-facing gable form and two bays on either side. The symmetrical windows are pointed-arch shaped. The pair closest to the central entry is larger and more vertical, with original stain glass on one of the windows. The main entry is roofed with a gable-facing façade and wood-framed double doors.
