AUSTIN AVENUE METHODIST CHURCH
        Designed by R. H. Hunt, this edifice is a substantial interpretation 
of Gothic architecture. It was built in 1925 during the ministry of the Rev. 
Cullom H. Booth. The two-story-equivalent brick structure, which rests on a 
raised basement, features a prominent bell tower. The original tracery 
detail in the tower was removed by the 1940s. The original art glass windows 
and tracery detail in the sanctuary were replaced after a 1954 fire caused 
extensive damage.
Recorded Texas Historic Landmark – 1990

The Official Texas Historical Building Marker was given to the glory of God 
and in memory of Mrs. Nellie Davis Hill, Mr. Willis Howell McCullough, Sr., 
and Mrs. Cecile Swayze Ramsey by Dr. T. Bradford Willis.  Each of these 
persons wrote a history of the Austin Avenue United Methodist Church.  The 
marker was dedicated on January 6, 1991.
