Designed by the prolific Roanoke architect H. H. Huggins, First Baptist Church housed what was at the time the largest and most prominent African American congregation west of Richmond. Completed in 1900 and located in the Gainsboro neighborhood in Roanoke, the large First Baptist Church with Romanesque and Gothic detailing was gutted by fire in 1995, and the ruins were subsequently demolished.
