New Presbyterian Church Opens in Bryan with Sizable Edifice
The handsome First Presbyterian Church of Bryan is complete and ready for an 11 o'clock Sunday opening service. Architect M. F. Parmalee of Knoxville, contractor I. H. Newton, and a large local building committee oversaw a 69 by 65 foot frame structure with buff brick veneer, two towers, and a metal roof. Interior features include seventeen memorial art glass windows, golden oak pews, a carpeted floor, and a basement hot air furnace. Total cost is about 14 590 dollars with membership at 148 and Sunday school enrollment of 80. The article notes a future pipe organ and lists historical pastors and current leadership.
