A few exterior walls are all that is left of St. Paul’s AME Church after a storm ravaged the building in 2019. The newly formed Lampasas Cornerstone Conservancy hopes to rescue this century-old structure as well as two other endangered structures and the site of the Moses Hughes Mill.

The stone building tucked beside the Fourth Street bridge is more than crumbling walls and piles of rubble. It is a place that holds memories, and it is a place that matters.
The more than 100-year-old structure was first named St. Christopher’s Catholic Church. It was built for “Spanish-speaking Catholics,” according to Volume One of “Lampasas County Texas, Its History and People.”
