Description

The Baptist Church, including the Parish Room, was built in 1879 and is a single-storey structure made of yellow brick. It features a pediment adorned with a dentilled band and semi-circular antefixae, along with a round window. The façade is enhanced by four stuccoed composite pilasters and a triple round-headed window, which is also flanked by composite pilasters and a keystone. To the left, there is a one-storey addition with a lower elevation that includes an entrance with a modillion cornice and a pedimented doorcase. On the right side, the Parish Room, constructed in 1885 and designed in a matching style, is also a single-storey yellow brick building. It has a dentilled eaves cornice and a central double round-headed window with composite pilasters on either side, each featuring pedimented doorcases.
