First Baptist Church
An ornate Victorian clapboard church with a front stained glass arched window and six smaller arched windows across the front, five on the one side that is visible, two steeples flanking a gable in the front; there is another gable at the rear and below it a door with BYPE written on the top. There is a large two story house to the right of the church and another house with a pickett fence at the rear of the church. A lightpost with five globes stands in front of the church, halfway up the steps to the front door. The First Baptist Church was incorporated in 1883 in Whatcom; it is the oldest continuous congregation in Bellingham. There have been three church buildings over the years. The one pictured here is probably the second one that was used for over sixty years, located at Flora and Commercial Streets near Mt. Baker Theater. However if it is the first one, it was located at Sylvan and Flora Streets.
