Montgomery Baptist Church Building

Baptist in Montgomery organized a fellowship in 1850 and purchased land at this site the same year. In 1853, the Rev. thomas Chilton became the church's first full-time pastor. This vernacular Gothic revival sanctuary was constructed in 1902, during the pastorate of O. P. Stark, who is said to have designed the building himself. A 1918 storm destroyed the upper part of the steeple, and an education wing was added in the 1940s. The congregation met here for worship until 1979. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1985
