The Architecture
Designed
by W.A. Caan and built in 1903, Grace Church is the only Gothic
Revival style building of its stature in the city and may be the
only suriviving high French Gothic revival building in Dallas.
The building is recognized by city, state and national historical
societies as a historic landmark, remaining essentially unaltered
since 1903, except for the addition of the educational unit in
1925.
With its tall tower and spire, picturesque
form and ornamental masonry, this monumental church watches over
the activity of East Dallas with a grandeur befitting its name.
In the santuary, the elegant simplicity of
the design and the splendor of massive stained glass windows often
cause hurried visitors to pause with reverential awe.
Historical Landmark Plaques
| "That's

local, state and national historic societies which have
recognized the Gothic Revival structure as a historic landmark. |
