Notice the "bells" in the tower are really speakers...
"Tebbetts was platted after the planning of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad constructed along the north side of the Missouri
River in 1895. The church organized after the platting of the community and based on county atlases was constructed between 1897
and 1919.
"The church faces the former rail-line and main street in Tebbetts, a small village in southern Callaway County. Along the street are a
mix of residential and commercial properties. Just south of the former rail right-of-way is Hwy 94.
"This one story center steeple church faces south. The frame church has a gable front roof and raised basement. Though unconfirmed,
the basement may be a later addition to the building. Basement construction was a common alteration in rural churches of Callaway
County. The dominant feature of the façade is the three tiered center steeple. The first floor provides an entrance foyer with paired
doors topped by a transom. The entrance and other fenestration has slightly pedimented surrounds. The second, short, tier is marked
by a small circular window and the third tier is an open belfry with brackets. The tower is topped by a steeply pitched pyramidal roof.
Because of the raised basement, the entrance is reached by a set of long concrete steps. At the top of the steps is a canopy over the
entrance supported by narrow posts (non-historic). To the east of the tower is a small mansard roof projection that provides access to
the basement. The sides of the church are marked by five evenly spaced windows. The windows are multi-colored leaded glass with a
Gothic arch motif." ~ Missouri Department of Natural Resources
