First Baptist Church
Capital City & Lake Murray Country
The brick church features a Roman Tuscan portico and pilasters, slave balcony and interior as it would have appeared in 1860. Amazingly, the church survived the “Burning of Columbia” on February 17, 1865, during the Federal occupation. The present church was completed in the 1990s.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the church is also a National Historic Landmark.
