Colonial Baptist Church.

A S.W. view of the Baptist Meeting House, Providence, R.I. Engraving by S. Hill for Massachusetts Magazine or Monthly Museum of Knowledge and Rational Entertainment, August 1789 Rare Book and Special Collections Division, Library of Congress (55)

Believed to be the first Baptist church in America, the Providence congregation, founded by Roger Williams, was organized in 1639. The meeting house, shown here, was constructed in 1774-1775 from plans by architect Joseph Brown, after a design by James Gibbs. This church shows that some colonial Baptists had no compunctions about erecting imposing church buildings.
