| St, Stephens |
An
old wooden church sits quietly on a street corner in Fort Stockton, Texas.
Constructed
in 1896, St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church is the oldest church in the Pecos
region. Originally called St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, It was built in Pecos,
54 miles northwest of Fort Stockton, and moved to its present location at the
intersection of Second Street and Spring Drive.
Members
of the congregation bought the old church and placed it on land donated by Dr.
D.J. Sirley.
Interior
furnishings in this Victorian-style church include an ebony cross.
Services
are held every Sunday at the church.
The
church has been a Texas landmark since 1966.
