Its historic parish church is located at 424 East Main Street. Designed by noted Arkansas architect Charles L. Thompson, it was built in 1916 to replace the original 1869 structure. Its main block is a cruciform stone structure with Gothic Revival styling, and a squat square tower located at the inside corner of the nave and eastern transept. The main entrance is set at the northern end of the nave, in a segmented-arch opening set in a low projecting section. The gable end above the entrance has a large Gothic-arched stained glass window.[3] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
