Central Christian Church, building in Greenville, Hunt County, Texas
The Central Christian Church is a Gothic Revival church building in Greenville with stone and brick walls featuring detailed masonry patterns. The structure is dominated by a large corner tower topped with a hexagonal spire, while two smaller towers with pyramid-shaped roofs complete its balanced appearance.
The building was designed in 1899 by architects James E. Flanders and R. W. Ragsdale, remaining the oldest structure of its kind still standing in Greenville. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004 and has been protected as a valuable record of late 19th-century architecture ever since.
The congregation that built the church in 1899 chose the name Central Christian Church, tying it to the Christian denomination it belongs to. The building on Wesley Street has since been listed on the National Register of Historic Places, a status granted in 2004.
The building sits on a busy corner at Wesley Street and stands out through its vertical features and detailed masonry. The interior is not always open to the public, so it is best to appreciate the exterior architecture and stone details from the street.
The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004, decades after its 1899 construction. Its address is 2611 Wesley Street, on a corner site in Greenville, Texas.
