Summary
1991 Charles E. Peterson Prize, Entry
Significance: The First Baptist Church was originally built as the Baptist Meeting House. Fredrick Brown Coleman designed the church. His design was interpreted in a very unornamented and detailed style by the builder, John Chadwick. This simple Greek Revival structure remains very true to the architect's original intentions and contributes significantly to the island's character and architectural authenticity.
