"In 1846, the Rev. J.W. De Vilbiss bought a Methodist Church site (across
street) in this block. He set up a bell, to denote worship site, but did not
build when lot title proved defective. In 1879, German Methodist erected this
Gothic Revival Church. A workman called Olaf A Norwegian Sailor, carved pegs and
hinged the lancet-shaped casement windows.
Episcopal diocese of West Texas bought church in 1895; City of San Antonio
acquired title in 1945. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark--1962." ~ text of
