The First Presbyterian Church in San Angelo, Texas is a historic church at 32 N. Irving. It was built in 1906 and added to the National Register in 1988.[1]

It was described as:

A fine buff brick church with stone trim, roughly cruciform in plan with rounded apse, features a large corner tower near the main entrance on the west end. Steeply-pitched roof terminates in parapeted gables. On the main facade, monumental steps lead to three arched door openings, the center one decorated with carved stonework and a triangular pediment. Large rose window above is flanked by an arched window, each contained in a division separated by brick pilasters which rise above the parapet and terminate with a finial. The tower was originally almost twice as tall as it is now and overpowered the composition. Its upper part was removed between 1925 and 1956. The existing tower has three levels, a Romanesque style corbel table, a pyramidal roof and provides a secondary access to the church. At the other end of the building, a two-story section angles in and out surrounding the apse. A flat-roofed, brick corridor joins the old church to a 1949 south wing.[2]

The sanctuary but not the rest of the complex is included in the listing.[2]
