Newberry First Baptist Church
Newberry First Baptist Church. Built in 1907, this brick Roman Revival temple form church features a pedimented hexastyle portico, with colossal fluted Roman Doric columns, enriched with egg-and-dart molding on their echini. A full entablature has mutule blocks in the cornice and a Roman pattern of triglyphs and metopes in the frieze. Pilasters carry the order around the body of the church. Five arched, stained glass windows pierce each side elevation. Architect of the building was Charles C. Wilson of Columbia, South Carolina. Mallard Construction Company of Greenville, South Carolina, was contractor.
