Originally this was the area's second Methodist church. Built of native stone and lumber by the pioneers in 1875, after a fire destroyed an 1858 church and school structure. Rocks were plastered over about 1938.

After the 1890s this building was used solely as a school until 1945, when all the schools of Mason County consolidated.

Now this building is used as the center for the Art Community Club.

Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, 1968.
