About this postcard

A sepia-toned view of the First Methodist Church in Cleveland, Texas: a brick Gothic-influenced sanctuary with arched entry and tall windows, joined to a two-story brick educational wing, with a small frame building behind and a utility pole in the foreground. Bare winter trees and a dirt road frame the modest church complex typical of small East Texas towns in the mid-20th century. The card's own caption names the congregation as the First Methodist Church of Cleveland, Texas.
