"T-plan churches are characterized by their form and massing. They have a T-plan or T-shaped footprint with a cross gable roof. Like other rural church types, these buildings have a prominent front-facing gable. In most cases, the front gable has a large Romanesque or Gothic arch window or groupings of three windows. The entrances are located in the recesses created by the cross gable roof and are generally located in a small entrance pavilion or are sheltered by a small porch or portico. Towers, similar to those seen on the steepled ell type, are common though not universal. The survey identified six examples of the T-plan churches in rural Callaway County (see below). All but one has been modified on the exterior. Common alterations include additions for classrooms or social halls and the application of modern siding." ~ State Historic Preservation Office, Missouri Department of Natural Resources page 17 of church survey report
