There is no longer a Presbyterian church of any kind in Sanger. The sanctuary is a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, and the subject of a 1972 Texas Historical Marker:
Founded 1896, in 1902 built this structure on land given by Jack R. Sullivan, a Baptist. With town's best auditorium, this became site of school and civic programs; elocution and music were taught here.
Community bought building when congregation in 1971 moved to a new church.

While the sanctuary served as Sanger's public library until 1995, it eventually was vacated and was all but derelict until 2016.
