"The former Melrose Baptist Church is located at 1638 47th Avenue in Oakland, Alameda County, California. The location is approximately 5 miles southeast of downtown Oakland in the Fruitvale district. The immediate area is marked by single- family homes, predomi nantly early - to mid - twentieth century bungalows. Fremont High School , the Fremont Pool , and the Melrose Branch of the Oakland Public Library are all within block s of the church . The property consists of three buildings on a trapezoidal lot: one contributi ng and two noncontributing. The contributing building is the Spanish Revival style church and attached school located at the north of the lot . This building includes a 1930 church sanct uary, two -story hall and offices added in 1939, and a two- story school building added in 1949. T he building retains all aspects of integrity. The two noncontributing buildings are the circa 1940 preschool and a circa 1920 one -story raised bungalow located near the south of the lot. The single -family residence was constructed earlier and independently of the church." (
