First Baptist Church was designed by Harry Wild Jones and was built in 1910. It served as a church until 2006. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008 for its architectural significance.[1]
It is described as "Gothic Revival inspired" and as "Craftsman influenced". It is a one-story church on a 40 by 78 feet (12 m × 24 m) plan, with a square bell tower over its main entrance, and with an unusual polygonal rotunda at its west end. The rotunda area provided space for six separable classroom spaces, consistent with Akron Plan design.[2]
