The First Presbyterian Church is a historic church at the junction of Vandervoort and N. Fifth Sts., SW corner in De Queen, Arkansas. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, built in 1898 for a newly established congregation. The church is the city's finest example of Gothic Revival architecture, with Gothic-arched entrances on the north and east faces of the tower, and a large three-part Gothic window on the eastern gable end, topped with triangular arches. The main gable ends of the roof are decorated with brackets, as are the ends of a cross gable on the southern elevation.[2]
