I believe this may be an inactive church. Tudor revival church built in 1930.

Several items to note:
The church had a stone sign at one time, as shown in the rootsweb photo. But in 2010 when I was there the sign was gone.
The Kansas Area 25 of the AA Medicine Lodge Group meets in the basement of the church, and reports the church is closed at all other times, except the 1st and last Tuesday when they meet.
Historic Marker on the lawn about a stockade that was once here identifies this corner as the Presbyterian Church:
According to records, the west line ran south down the present alley to a corner near where the Peoples Bank is now located. The south line was along the south side of the Grand Hotel to where the Courthouse is located then north to where the Presbyterian Church is presently located."
