Augusta Union Church

A fine example of rural union churches, this building has served a number of denominations in the Augusta Community. It also served as a schoolhouse in the community's early years. Probably built in the 1850s, the church evolved to its current appearance over time to meet the changing needs of the congregation. Its features include shiplap siding, double entry doors, Greek revival trim and cornice details, victorian-era shingled gabled ends, and an early 20-century pyramidal steeple. It continues to serve the community as the site of annual homecoming observances. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1990
