African American members of the First Baptist Church on North Salisbury Street requested separation in 1868 to form their own church. At diagonal corners of Union Square, the two Baptist churches represent two different phases of the Gothic Revival style. This church, begun in 1904, is an example of the late Gothic Revival.
