Gibson Methodist Episcopal Church

The Gibson Methodist Episcopal Church features symmetrical shapes and columns reflecting classical Greek Revival architectural elements from the early 19th century.

The church construction began in 1849 on land donated by Cornelius and John Wallis in Tigerville, which later became known as Gibson.

The church maintains its position as a central gathering place for religious services and community events in the Gibson area of Louisiana.

Located on South Bayou Black Drive, the church structure incorporates painted wood and whitewashed bricks instead of stone materials.

The building received its initial name, Sycamore Church, due to the numerous sycamore trees growing in the surrounding yard.
