This church bell is located to the left of the Calvary Baptist Church. The church started as a mission Sunday school and in 1906 became Park Avenue Baptist Church. The name was changed to Calvary Baptist church in 1928. New additions were added to the original building however, in 2014 a fire destroyed the original building. In June of 2016 the new building was complete. As an added note the church features a children's bell choir!
This cast iron bell is situated on top of a brick foundation for the name of the church. It is about four feet high from the ground. There is some weather damage around the bell. From the back is a rope pull cord for ringing the bell.
