Description
Photograph of the Texas Historical Commission marker for Saint John Christian Methodist Episcopal Church in Sherman, Texas. Text: This church, organized in 1875 as Saint John Christian Methodist Episcopal (CME) Chapel, held its initial services in a sanctuary located in a local community of Freedmen known as "Brushtown". The Rev. E. W. Moseley (1854-1911) served as its first pastor. The church relocated here in 1912 and in 1926 contractors J.A. Simmons and Jerry Wall completed this 2-story Greek revival sanctuary during the pastorship of the Rev. J. E. Raines. It features a central pedimented temple entry with four ionic columns rising from bays on all sides; and pilasters.1 photograph : col. ; 2502 x 1476 px.
