History and architectural features

Built in 1886, this historic church is a two-story brick building, which was designed in a modified Gothic style. It features a three-story square bell tower with large oval windows and brick tracery.[3]

Attached to the church by a one-bay, two-story section is a three-story brick parsonage that was built in 1897.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]

In November 2019, the Tabernacle Baptist parish left the church building and moved to another location.[2] The site was briefly known as Choice Community Christian Church[4] until March 2021 when the CCCC parish also moved to another location.
