Ozona United Methodist Church

-A A +A
1949, Haynes and Kirby. 12 11th St.

When Ozona’s downtown Methodist Church burned in 1942, the congregation moved east to this neighborhood. The gable-fronted Gothic Revival church in tawny brick, designed by Lubbock architects, features triple lancet windows centered above the pointed arched entrance portal. A tall, slender spire, which emerges from a high planar bell-cote integrated into the entrance to the rear office and classroom wing, gives the complex its grace note of aspiration. Because Ozona did not grow farther east in the 1950s and 1960s, the Methodist Church remains at the edge of town.
