Servicing the residential areas of the district are two churches, of which the oldest is the First Baptist Church on St. Helena Avenue in St. Helena (photo 31/60). Originally known as the Community Church, the building was constructed in 1920 and also served as a social center, including within it a gym, game room, stage, etc.21 T-shaped, the original building now has a modern addition on the east. The original building is 2 stories and stuccoed, the stucco serving to visually link the building to the nearby EFC houses. On the main façade, 2-story entrance pavilions project slightly at each end. On the second story of the center section is a series of arcaded windows, delineated by bands of stucco. Stucco belt courses serve to define each story. The roof on the front section of the building is hipped, with each entrance pavilion having its own hipped roof. A low octagonal cupola tops the building. The rear section of the building has a gable roof and is lit by arched stained glass windows.
