First Baptist Church of Detroit - Detroit, Michigan - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

The Michigan Historical sites wesite at (visit link) tells us:
"The First Baptist Church of Detroit (Peoples Community Church) is a rockfaced, limestone, Gothic-style church. It subscribes to the standard elevation treatment for Gothic-style churches begun in the mid-nineteenth century. A gabled facade dominated by a massive, Gothic-arched traceried window is balanced by a large, square, buttressed corner tower with a louvered belfry. The Gothic-arched main entrance to the church is located in the base of the tower. Adjacent to the side of the flat-roofed tower is the educational wing, which is similar in design to the church in that it is a rockfaced, limestone structure with Gothic arched windows and corner buttresses. The First Baptist Church is notable for its extreme simplicity and lack of carved ornament, depending more for its impact on its bold detailing and massive proportions.
