Old Town BSL District #786

1950/altered - Gable-Front church - First Missionary Baptist Church (Non-Contributing)
One-story, three-bay-wide (w-d-w) gable-front church that rests on a concrete slab foundation, is clad with dryvit, and is capped with a small steeple. The double-door entrance with sidelights is at center on the gable-front façade and is flanked by tall, fixed-light rectangular windows. The church has been heavily remodeled, and no longer possesses the integrity required to be a contributing building in the district; however, its presence remains an important cultural marker of the African American presence in the Sycamore Street neighborhood.
