Independence Historic Church and Residence
Gothic Revival fans will appreciate the First Presbyterian Church built in 1928 and modeled after Melrose Abbey in Scotland. Just to the south of the castle-like church, the yellow-brick mansion of Harry Sinclair stands at 215 S. 5th. Sinclair, founder of Sinclair Oil, built this grand Neoclassical house in 1909. Among its many stand-out features is the double-enclosed porch with six large stone pillars over the main entrance.
