St. Paul’s Chapel (St. Paul’s on the Plain Episcopal Church)

-A A +A
1913; 1996 restored, Parkhill, Smith and Cooper. University Ave. at 41st St.

Originally located at 15th Street and Avenue O, St. Paul’s is the oldest extant building in Lubbock County. The church was moved to the present location in K. N. Clapp Park 1996 and restored as an event space for weddings, meetings, and receptions. The simple Carpenter Gothic church has a rectangular nave sheathed in horizontal wood siding. The steeply pitched roof has been restored with historically accurate wood shingles. Stepped buttresses denote the three bays of interior scissor trusses. A rectangular apse, about one-third the width of the nave, projects from the east end.
