In this episode of Downtown Depot, writer Lane Murphy tells the story of falling in love with the historic St. James Methodist Church building and deciding to buy this "one big antique," the preservation and restoration of which has become a passion project for his wife and him. Before the interview, show host Austin Meek recaps the opening weekend of Waco Running Company with marketing director Thomas Wensil and hears about unique Central Texas Architecture from Trace Chitwood, who runs the @historic_texas account on Instagram.
