A Church and Its People on Austin's Eastside

David Chapel Missionary Baptist Church was born, phoenixlike, out of the darkness of Austin's racial history. The congregation originated in 1924, when members of a community then south of Austin, concerned about boys playing marbles on Sundays, established a church in a former blacksmith shop. They've moved two times since: once in 1926 to the corner of 14th and Chestnut streets in East Austin, and again, as the church grew, to its current site at MLK and Chestnut in 1958.
With the second move, the church wanted to build a new sanctuary to accommodate its growing congregation, but white-owned banks refused to lend the money. Instead, David Chapel solicited funding from the St. John Regular Baptist Associa­tion (a coalition of churches in East Austin, still in existence) and hired John S. Chase – the first Black graduate of the UT-Austin School of Architecture – to design the sanctuary and Oliver B. Street to build it, making it an all-Black enterprise in the thick of Fifties Southern segregation. When Chase graduated, no architectural firms would hire him, so David Chapel became his first big project. Throughout his education, he had taken a special interest in Baptist churches; the plans for the chapel originated from his master's thesis, "Progressive Architecture for the Negro Bapt­ist Church." The building was finished in 1959, and the congregation was able to fully pay off the mortgage 10 years later.
