This sanctuary is a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, and a 1982 Texas Historical Marker here provides some background:
Begun under the direction of the Rev. H.M. Burroughs in 1883, this church was organized in a log schoolhouse with eight charter members. Work on this sanctuary, the third for the congregation, was begun in 1919. Designed with Classical elements, the building was completed two years later. The First Baptist Church has been a vital force in the development of Wichita Falls and has become a denominational leader through its dramatic growth.
