Texas Historic Site Atlas

Built at Sterling before the Civil War, this church, reflective of the Greek Revival style, was given to the church, then the Cumberland Presbyterian by Calvert's heirs.

It was moved to Calvert in 1868 by oxen and was moved again to its present site in 1913. Four Doric columns support the pedimented portico.

It has the original colored glass windows which were imported from Belgium, as well as the hand made pews with square nails.
