"The Baptist Church fire of 1917
At the time, the Newfield Baptist Church building was one of the oldest in the county. The fire in the church began slowly, started by an overheated furnace in the basement...The church later was able to purchase a new building on Bank Street called the Shirley Hotel. This building was consequently torn down and a replacement church was built in 1918."(this church)

"A New Baptist church was built nearby where the original church was. This building is still around today, but it is now used as a recording studio instead of a church (shown below to the right)."
