Baptist Church, Hillsboro

Title

Baptist Church, Hillsboro

Description

Black and white photographic postcard of a church. The building is Mission Revival style, with a large, square porch and carillon tower on the front corner. Concrete steps lead up to the double doors which sit in a graduated, recessed arched entryway, with a decorative window above it. An arched, stained glass window dominates the front facade of the building, and several small, square windows are visible on the main floor and basement levels of the second side. The church sits on a corner, and has a reader board in front. There is a leafy bush in the front yard, and another on the side, and poured sidewalk and curbs run along both sides of the building's lot. A light colored house with a hipped roof sits on the street just beyond the church, and an illegible sign sits in front of it.
