"Park Baptist Church began simply in the home of Warren Crandall, editor and owner of the Brookfield Gazette, in 1866. Mr. Crandall, his wife, Georgia, and their four children lived in Brookfield for 24 years. The Baptists in Brookfield met in various homes and halls until 1884, when a small single story frame church was built at the corner of North Main and West John. This building burned on August 31, 1911. The cornerstone for the current building was laid on Nov. 11, 1912. In 1956 an education building was attached to the church. In 2002 a new fellowship building was completed to the north of the main sanctuary building."

Eight concrete steps lead to a recessed entryway. Two red granite Doric columns support a wooden entablature. Inside the recessed entryway, glass doors are on the east and west walls. Three arches with three small windows above are located in the north wall of the recess. Two very tall arched windows with a keystone detail are on either side of the entryway. Above the entry is a wider arched window with the same keystone detail. The cornice has dentil detailing. A large dome can be seen atop the the building. The building has projecting two-story wings that have paired 1/1 windows.
