The church, a Houma landmark, had been Terrebonne's second-oldest and is on the National Registry of Historic Places. The cypress building where parishioners had
worshipped was built in 1896. The church was perhaps best known for its Gothic revival
architecture and magnificent stained-glass windows.
An early-morning fire November 11, 2010 destroyed St. Matthew's Episcopal Church,
leaving little more than the historic building's front steps, part of the steeple and a wall
standing.
