✞ Royse City Methodist Church Fire: Collapse and Power Line Sparking
The town of Royse City in northeastern Texas lost one of its most historic buildings to fire on Tuesday, May 28 during a severe storm that was moving through the area. Royse City Methodist Church was a beloved fixture in the historic downtown and, for so many, it was a fundamental part of what made the small town so special. Longtime residents and new transplants alike loved the old yellow church, and it was always a joy to see when rounding the curve along Highway 66.
Royse City Methodist Church was originally known as Methodist Episcopal Church South, then First United Methodist Church of Royse City. It was not individually listed on the National Register, but its historic and architectural significance was denoted as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark (RTHL). While Texas has over 16,000 historic markers around the state, only around 3,800 of them have RTHL status. The church itself dates to 1887 when the congregation met in a schoolhouse until land was purchased from the McCasland family a few years later. The building was completed in 1904.
James E. Flanders (1849-1948), one of Dallas’ earliest architects, was selected to design the new sanctuary. The Royse City church featured three prominent entry towers of mismatched heights, arched stained glass windows, and decorative wood shingles in the gables and tallest tower. Wide overhanging eaves gave the building a Prairie School-style appearance. Flanders designed other churches that closely resemble the Royse City church – especially the nearly identical First United Methodist Church in Marlin, still standing today, and Trinity Methodist Church in Dallas, completed the same year as the Royse City church and destroyed by fire in 1981.
This church is one of the city’s most historic buildings that has been standing for about 120 years.
