The church is located in the Pigtown Historic District. The TEXT from the National Register of Historic Places Registration Form Page 11.

"Similar in style to the original St. Jerome's, the former Scott Street Baptist Church (now Pleasant Rock Baptist) is located on the southeast corner of Cross and Scott Streets. A frame church was first built on the site in 1888, replaced in the early 1900s by a brick church with stone trim—a temple-front design with a three-bay wide façade and a seven-bay-deep nave. The most striking element of the façade is the huge stained glass window ornamenting the façade, set beneath a very low-pitched pointed arch. This same flattened arch frames the doors on either side of the façade and the three smaller stained glass windows set beneath the large central window. Each corner of the façade, and each bay of the nave, is marked by a tall, thin brick buttress with stone shoulders. On the façade, each of these buttresses is topped by a small, conical roof cap."
Date Built: 01/01/1900
