Christ Church Episcopal

Christ Church Episcopal, built of native wood and brick with stained glass artwork, is an ecclesiastical interpretation of the Arts and Crafts style. Founded in 1890, the congregation is one of the oldest in Dallas County. In 1921, this building was completed on 10th Street, also known as “Church Street” due to the high number of churches within one mile. Christ Church is a major repository of stained glass done in the Arts and Crafts style, being hand-painted and then fired. Many pieces evoke the memory of early Oak Cliff settlers and residents. After WWII, church attendance increased and a parish hall and classroom were added, designed by Hidell and Decker in Mid-Century Modern style.
