The state historic marker for Alpine's beautiful Spanish mission revival style first Methodist Church used to be attached to church next to the main entrance to the sanctuary at 208 Ave D (also known as E Sul Ross and N 3rd streets) and Alpine.
In 2016, all that is visible at this location are the holes that were used to attach the marker to the building.
Hopefully this marker will be replaced sooner rather than later.
