First Baptist Church

The First Baptist Church is built on the brow of a gently sloping knoll. This elevation combined with its peaked non-dimensional bell tower emphasizes the building’s function as a place of worship. The steep roof, which is twice as high as the supporting pink brick walls, is covered with hand-laid slate. The sanctuary has a high A-frame interior. Highlight of the interior design is wall of pierced brick at the front of the chancel. This wall partially screens the choir, organ and baptistery from the congregation. The off-center aisle leads to the design are off-center except the channel cross, which appears to float in mid-air. These elements combine to evoke a mystical feeling. An ascending vertical row of glass panels, piecing the steeply sloping roof above the chancel, dramatically lights both the chancel and cross. The chapel is in a smaller, separate, but similar building to one side of the sanctuary. The main brick building is built on two levels, taking advantage of a natural grade, around a landscaped open courtyard. Classrooms are on the ground floor, with the sanctuary, chapel and fellowship room on the higher level. #3D_Visualization_and_Animation #Architecture #C4 #church #Columbus #First_Baptist_Church #Harry_Weese #Indiana #National_Historic_Landmark
