Family Baptist Church, Old West End: UPDATED







I'm quite impressed with this. According to the cornerstone, it was built in 1922 as the Rosewood Presbyterian Church.

This place is VERY impressive -- was thinking of photographing it myself after I did two nearby churches, but I have to say you did a beautiful job with it. I didn't know about the original Presbyterian congregation that first occupied the building, but a quick goodsearch of their name, tells you who and where they are now:

Some photos of what the interior looked like when it was Rosewood:

Fairgreen was started as a mission congregation in the 50's, although it's not made clear at what point they sold Rosewood ...
