The First Baptist Church is a historic church on Arkansas Highway 159 South, 1miles south of Eudora, Arkansas. The wood-frame church was built in 1900, and rebuilt in 1946 after sustaining significant storm damage. The building is clad in a combination of weatherboard and novelty siding, and is covered by a shingled cross-gable roof. It is topped by a short gable-roofed belltower. The front facade is symmetrically organized around the main entrance, with the door recessed in a projecting section with its own, lower, end gable. The double doors are flanked by three-over-one windows. The building is associated with the African-American community that developed in the area during the first half of the 20th century.[1]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
