First United Methodist Church is a historic church at 202 E. Oklahoma in Walters, Oklahoma.
The church was built in 1917 at a cost of $15,000. Handmade bricks from local clay were used, and members of the church congregation volunteered to work on the building.[2] It is the only building in Cotton County, Oklahoma that includes major elements of the Romanesque Revival style and incorporates a large dome at its center.[2] According to the national register submission form, it is the best example of this architecture style in southwestern Oklahoma.[2] It was added to the National Register in 1983.
