Inscription.

This Disciples of Christ Congregation was organized as early as 1879. V.R. Stapp served as the first full-time pastor. In 1905, this church building was erected to replace an earlier sanctuary located on Fourth Street. Constructed of hand-quarried, native limestone, the Central Christian Church building exhibits some influences of the Romanesque Revival style. Outstanding features include the masonry work and the corner tower.
