First Baptist Church - Woonsocket RI - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

"An early history of the Baptists in Woonsocket can not be given due to a fire that destroyed the First Baptist Church on Main Street in 1858. The congregation was established in 1833 and the original church was constructed in 1834 on the corner of Main and High Streets. After the fire, the church was rebuilt on the site and remained there until 1890 when the land was sold to interests that ultimately erected the Longley Building. The congregation then acquired land on Blackstone Street and built a new church building in 1892. The church is accented by a 60-foot spire and has remarkable stained glass windows."
