First Presbyterian Church of Memphis

The story

Established in 1890 under the leadership of the Rev. A. W.

Rogers, this church began with thirteen members. This sanctuary, the second for the congregation, was completed in 1911, during the pastorate of the Rev. Dr.

R. T. Caldwell.

Built by member J. S. Cobb, it features neo-classical revival detailing in the use of arched windows and a domed roof.

Interior furnishings include a large pipe organ originally, powered by water pressure. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark-1980
