The church is a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, and a 1987 Texas Historical Marker here provides some background:
Founded in 1883 with the Rev. J.C. Mason as first pastor, the Central Christian Church congregation built this structure in 1932. Construction was supervised by architect and church member E.C. Seibert (1878-1941), who used carefully placed bricks to achieve a distinctive pattern. Of Tudor Gothic Revival style, the basilica-plan sanctuary with cast-stone details and pointed-arch windows is connected to an educational wing by a pointed-arch arcade.
Year of construction: 1931
