First Christian Church (Russellville, Arkansas)

The original single-story building was designed by architect J. D. Price of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and constructed by local contractors J. P. Eaton and A. K. Bollinger in 1885-86 as a wood-frame building with a Carpenter Gothic cruciform sanctuary design.

A 1925 expansion by builders J.C. and Warren Woodson, brothers, added 35 feet to the structure's rear, matching the building's original height and pitch of the roof.

The project also added a front entrance portico, applied a brick veneer to the building’s exterior, installed stained-glass windows in the entry area and sanctuary to replace opaque, amber-colored panes used in the original construction, and modified the church’s interior.
