The unusual sanctuary of the Hutto United Methodist Church, built in 1910, combines typical country church layout with a castle tower.
A historic marker that should be in front of the church reported missing several years ago and as of 2016 has not been replaced.
The church was relocated from its historic home at 605 East Street at Liberty Street near downtown Hutto in 2008.
Today, the church is located at 350 Ed Schmidt Blvd. in Hutto.

Historical Marker
Hutto, Texas
Marker Text:
This church was formed from two earlier congregations that worshiped in this area. In the late 1870s an American Methodist fellowship began meeting in the Shiloh Schoolhouse (3 mi. SE). They later shared the building of the Hutto Cumberland Presbyterian Church until a separate sanctuary was constructed. Area Swedish Methodists began meeting in homes with visiting ministers before starting a church in 1892. A Hutto sanctuary served the members until a new structure was dedicated at this site in 1911. The two churches united as one congregation in November 1938."
