Built in 1898, it was designed by Julius A. Culbreth for prayer meetings and constructed from salvaged wood from trees that had been uprooted by a tornado.

Culbreth, who was the founder of Falcon, chose the octagon shape because it reminded him of the tents used in revival meetings.

In 1900 the building became the home of the Falcon Pentecostal Holiness Church, of which Culbreth was a leader.
