A Texas Historical Marker here provides a very brief overview:
Originally constructed in 1883 under leadership of the Rev. John Jackson. One of the first Negro church buildings in Red River County. Prior to this members worshipped in makeshift quarters. Rebuilt in 1937. Six generations have worshipped here.
--
Notably, besides the 1885 and 1937 cornerstones, a third cornerstone reveals that this building was rebuilt in 1982, although it looks like that little steeple may be a holdover from previously. Maybe the stained glass, too, in order to give a modern cookie-cutter building some character.
