Frank Jobson was the architect for the First Presbyterian Church, La Grange.  Jobson, was impressed by a picture of the Llambadarn Church in Wales, which hung in the home of church organist J. Harry Jones.  As a result, the new structure resembled a church in the Welsh countryside dating from the 13^th century. The church's tall tower and pointed arches gave it an appearance of quiet elegance.
