This sanctuary is also a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, and a 1986 Texas Historical Marker provides some background:
Completed in 1920, this Classical Revival sanctuary first served the congregation of the Walnut Street Church of Christ. Known as Travis Street Church of Christ since 1963, when it moved to a new site, the congregation has ties to the 1850s. Members built this edifice to serve as their third sanctuary. The chapel is a two-story raised structure with a central stairway, grand portico, and 48 stained glass windows.
