First United Methodist Church of Weatherford - Weatherford Downtown Historic District - Weatherford, TX - NRHP Historic Districts - Contributing Buildings on Waymarking.com

The sanctuary is also a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, and a 1979 Texas Historical Marker provides some background:

Organized in 1857, this congregation built a meetinghouse in 1867 at Walnut and Church Street. In 1886 a tornado destroyed the first sanctuary. This structure was begun three years later under the leadership of the Rev. James Mackey. The Victorian Gothic edifice with its elaborate tower was dedicated in 1893. The same type of limestone was later used in building additions to the church.
