Description:	[Previous building demolished; new construction]On slide mount: College Ave., Baptist Church, 1501 N. College Ave.,College Ave.,(West) and 15th St.,(South) elevations No College Avenue Baptist Church1501 North College Avenue1892This simple red brick Gothic Revival structure in many ways belongs to an earlier version of the style. There is a rich effect to the walls through the uses of pilaster strips, corbel tables and lancet windows, or windows with plate tracery. The main gable is flanked by simple turrets. The entrance is surmounted by a simple needle spire. The simplicity of the detailing, almost domestic scale, and excellent siting make this church an important visual landmark on the street. The Rev. J.T. Williams served as the first pastor of the new building.The congregation began in 1870 in a room over a grocery at what is now 10th Street and Broadway. The next year the first facility was constructed and a full-time pastor, E.K. Chandler, was retained. Originally known as North Baptist Church, the congregation was renamed College Avenue Baptist Church at the dedication of the new facility in 1893.Old Northside Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1979 church
