Description

This is a photo showing the First Baptist Church in St. Marys in the early 1980s. The church is located at 34 Church Street South. The Baptist Church was established in St. Marys by 1867. This church was built and opened by 1902. The building contains several Romanesque revival features such as the small rectangular tower with half-round stained glass windows and long, narrow arched windows on the rest of the building. The church has a steep roof and buttresses supporting the outer walls.

In the winter and early spring of 1982-1983, Randall Speller, a colleague of Larry Pfaff from the Art Gallery of Ontario, took a series of black and white photographs of houses and buidlings of architectural significance in St. Marys. Larry Pfaff and several local friends who shared this interest in architecture took some additional photographs in a subsequent summer. This photograph is one of this series.
