First Methodist Church of Robert Lee

Robert Lee, Coke County

Marker Text

The Rev. Green Cotton Fields organized this Methodist congregation in January 1891. A one-room frame sanctuary built on this site in 1896 was replaced by a second structure in 1907. This structure was completed in 1928, during the pastorate of the Rev. J.D. Ramsey. Exhibiting elements of the Classical Revival style, it features paired art-glass windows and a triumphal-arch entryway. The church continues to be an important part of the community. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1988
