The First Baptist Church is one of six National Historic Landmarks in Columbus, Indiana. It was designed by distinguished architect Harry Weese; construction was completed in 1965. Since completion, few alterations have been made and the building has retained its integrity. It was one of the first church designs to integrate Modern movement architecture and a non-traditional church plan.

    Inside and out this is a unique and memorable structure by Harry Weese. A modern take on a cathedral and worth seeing.

    I’ve seen a lot of a-frame buildings, and this is the only one I’ve seen so far that doesn’t become a cliche. Br far my favorite building in Columbus.
