The Bridgetown Baptist Church was organized in 1801 and by 1891 had already used up two churches when this one was built. Standing on the north side of Granville Street, which is also the Evangeline Trail as it passes through Bridgetown, we expect that the church draws its fair share of attention. Nothing if not an interesting building, the street side of the nave was built with three sides, as opposed to one, each one with a large triple lancet window and a rose window within the top. Each has a gable roof receding into the central gable.
Further back, just ahead of the large transepts, are a pair of large, square towers, the right hand one with an open belfry and bell within, each one topped by an "Eastern Orthodox" style spire, then a cross. The entrances are at the base of each tower, near the centre of the nave. Each transept was given a very large lancet window with six lights below.
BTW - just across the street and a few feet east is the
Morse-Magwood House, a Victorian home every bit as interesting as is this church.
