The congregation was officially established on July 24, 1871, and was the first Episcopal church in the city of Tampa. Initially, a hospital building at Fort Brooke was used for worship services. In 1877, the congregation purchased the block of land bounded by Marion, Twiggs, Morgan, and Madison Streets, where they are presently located. A wood frame church was erected on the site in 1883.[5]

Construction on their current church building began in 1904 and three years later, the structure was completed. The historic Mediterranean Revival style building was designed by the prominent local architectural firm of Michael J. Miller & Francis J. Kennard, who had designed the Belleview-Biltmore Hotel and other significant structures which today are also NRHP-listed. Their design for St. Andrew's incorporated several components from the original wooden church, including the stained glass windows, communion rail, and lectern.[5]

As Tampa's population grew and the city expanded, St. Andrew's parish helped to establish the local Episcopal congregations of St. John's and St. Mary's.[5] The church is under the Tampa Deanery of the Episcopal Diocese of Southwest Florida, which is within Province 4 of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America.[4]

Next door to the historic church, on the same block at the corner of Twiggs and Marion Streets, is the six-story Western Union Building. The Art Deco styled, commercial office building built in 1929 was purchased by St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in 1996.[5]
