This church traces its history to 1872, when the Mt. Herman Cumberland

Presbyterian Church was founded. It was divided into the Davilla and Leachville

congregations in 1893. The Leachville church was renamed Sharp in 1902, the

same year this structure was built. The vernacular church building, exhibiting

influences of the Italianate style of architecture, features a truncated tower,

window hoods, and horizontal milled siding. Recorded Texas Historic

Landmark - 1988
