This Carpenter Gothic church, built in Pecos in 1886, was moved here in 1958. The rectangular church has a large, square two-story bell tower with bracketed eaves and a pyramidal spire. Wood scallops edge the plain entrance porch, and wood fish scale decoration is in the gable end. A triple lancet window at the northern end lights the nave.
