Tacony, Tacony Baptist Church, 4715 Disston Street, north side between Hegerman & Vandike Streets, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, PA

Significance: The Tacony Baptist Church is one of the oldest religious institutions in Tacony. It was organized in 1881 and the first permanent church building constructed on lots donated by the Disston Family in 1883. A new church, constructed behind the earlier one in 1915-1916, is significant in its own right as its exterior walls are laid-up entirely with discarded grindstones from the Henry Disston & Sons, Incorporated, Keystone Saw Works.
