The small village Gothic Revival church was Spanish influences was designed by Tucson-based Architect Robert Rust and built-in fall 1901. Constructed of dark stone, by stonemason Jesus Osoma, the charming small building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 3, 1984.[1]
According to the Arizona Daily Star on September 25, 1902, “One evening a gentleman staying at the Arcadia Hotel announced his approaching marriage. At once the suggestion came, “Why not be married at Oracle?” The response was, “You have no church, and in a church we must be married.” Naturally the query followed. “Why shouldn't Oracle have a church?” These and then the decision was made to build and three hundred dollars were subscribed at once.
