The Echo Church and School is a church and school building in Echo, Utah that includes Late Gothic Revival architecture from 1876. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1989. [1]

Its two functions made it the center of community life at the turn of the twentieth century. The building was used mostly as a Presbyterian and Congregational church but also as a school, while a Latter-day Saints congregation later used it. [2]

No other churches were constructed in Echo at any point in its history. [2] [3] [4]
