Organized in 1852 with seven members, this congregation built its first sanctuary in 1858 across the street from this site, but it soon became too small for the growing membership. In 1898, Tom Hodges, who also served as architect on several public buildings in Lockhart, designed and built this Gothic Revival church building. Its ornate sanctuary features lancet windows, decorative brickwork, and corner turrets. It was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1985.
