Statement of Significance
The Baptist Church was erected in 1876 - 77 by the local Freemason Lodge for the purpose of a meeting hall. The architect was Fenton W. Hill and the contractors were Henry Phillips and Son. In 1889 the premises were sold to the Baptists. The rectangular plan stone structure has a shallow gable roof which terminates on the facade in a pediment. This simply conceived structure has an attractive facade and is notable among the town's buildings. The quoinwork around the three facade openings is unusual and naive.
