Vintage THE METHODIST CHURCH Postal Card

J.W. Rowland, Pastor - Elgin, Texas - "I attended services at this church Sunday"

3.25" x 5.5" , Unused One Cent Postal Card, Undated but probably 1940s era

Organized in 1874 as the Elgin Methodist Episcopal Church, South, this was the first congregation started in the town of Elgin. A small frame sanctuary built here in 1882 was replaced by this Gothic revival structure. Built by local contractor J. C. Miller, it was completed in October 1906. Prominent features include its stairstep gable corbelling, small corner pinnacles around the larger towered entryway, and memorial art glass windows.

The postal card is complete and in GOOD - VERY GOOD condition with some overall wear that includes some vertical creases and a small chip out of the upper left corner.
