First Baptist Church of Northborough (Former) - Northborough, MA - Baptist Churches on Waymarking.com

The Italianate style First Baptist Church of Northborough was built in 1860 to serve a Baptist congregation that was formed in 1827. The present building was the second Baptist church on this site. In 1948 the congregation merged with the Trinity Congregational Church in Northborough and currently holds services at the Trinity Church building. The building was put up for sale in 1959 and was acquired by the Northborough Historical Society in 1960.

The building has a projecting entrance with a gable roof. Steps lead up to a central entrance which is framed by a rounded arch. Above the entrance and beneath a window frame with a rounded top is a sign which is inscribed:
