About This Property

 The building, just one block from the county courthouse, is unique in style compared to other local historic buildings. It represents a period in design when architects and property owners wanted to connect to their past, and the Mission Revival elements reflect a tie to Texas' Spanish Colonial era.  By the end of November 1912, with more than $8,000 committed to the new building, the congregation hired George Lindsey of Greenville as the architect. Harris & Shuman of Nevada, Texas, received the construction contract. According to the February 28, 1913, issue of the Rockwall County Tribune, "The building when finished and furnished will cost more than $15,000 and will, with grounds and all, be estimated as an $18,000 plant."
