Founded in 1882 to serve the area's German population, this congregation originally was known as the Friedens (Peace) Church of the Evangelical Association. This sanctuary was completed in 1883 on land donated by the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway. The wood frame structure with cedar post foundation features some elements of the Gothic style. The church building stands as an important part of the area's diverse cultural heritage. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1983 |
