This is the only surviving church building from the 19th century in Waxahachie, and today, is is used by St. Athanasius Anglican Church. There is a Texas Historical Marker here that has a brief sound byte about the church building itself, which appears to do some moonlighting as a wedding chapel:
City's oldest church. Dedicated by pioneer Bishop A.C. Garrett, 1885.
Lancet windows, doors.
