First Baptist Church -- Eufala AL - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

The stately Greek Revival First Baptist Church in downtown Eufala AL serves the faithful in this picturesque town from its sanctuary built in 1907.

A state historic marker in front of the church reads as follows:

"Irwinton Baptist Church was constituted on June 24, 1837. The name of the town changed to Eufaula in 1843 and consequently the name of the church became Eufaula First Baptist Church. The church assumed its third name in 1869 when it was changed to First Baptist Church of Eufaula. The church met temporarily in the male academy at the NW corner of Union and Livingston Streets. In 1841 a new church building was erected at the NW corner of Union and Forsyth Streets. The second church was built at this location and was dedicated on Nov. 5, 1871. The building was destroyed by fire caused by lightning on Aug. 12, 1907 and rebuilt using the same exterior walls without the steeple."
