History and Architecture:

The foundation stone of the current St. Andrews Church was laid on the 17th January 1906 by Alexander McBean of Springmount, a grandson of the first Alexander McBean, the founder of the family in the district.

The architects were Messrs. Nixon and Adam. The church was built by Mr. Hastings from Tumut and is of Gothic design, built of brick, with a tiled roof. Access was by stone steps at the end of the building, leading to the porch. The body of the church is entered through two spring doors, on either side of
the tablets, which were convenient to the two aisles which were along the walls of the church.
