The St. Andrew's Chapel was designed by architect George C. Harding in the Gothic revival style and erected in 1899. It was built by wealthy New York City banker George F. Crane, who spent summers in Washington at his nearby estate, Bucksteep Manor. It was dedicated as St. Andrews Church on June 15, 1900 by Bishop William Lawrence of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts. In 1977, St. Andrew's Chapel was donated to the town of Washington and is operated by a town committee and is used for non-denominational services from May 1st to October 1st.
