First Baptist Church of Painted Post is a historic Baptist church located at Painted Post in Steuben County, New York. The church was originally built in 1860 and expanded and remodeled in 1915 by architects Pierce & Bickford after a fire destroyed the mid-19th century building's tower and spire. The three-part church consists of the main block—a 40adj=midNaNadj=mid, 60adj=midNaNadj=mid, gable-roofed edifice built in 1860 and now containing the sanctuary; the front wing—a 40adj=midNaNadj=mid, 12adj=midNaNadj=mid addition built in 1915 and now containing the foyer and narthex; and a noncontributing rear addition. The front wing features two massive square corner towers surmounted by louvered bell towers and bell curved roofs.[1]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
