The First Baptist Church at the corner of 11th Street and Lorne Avenue was built in 1904 from the designs of W.A. Elliott. This was the Baptist congregation's second church; the first, a wood frame structure erected in 1885, stood on the southwest corner of 10th Street and Princess Avenue. A third church was built at 3881 Park Avenue, with the official dedication on October 16, 1994. At present (June 2007), the First Baptist Church in the photograph remains, but is unoccupied.
