ANTIPEDO BAPTIST CHURCH
In the plan of Georgetown, laid out by 1730, this one acre lot was reserved for Antipedo Baptist by Elisha Screven. A brick building built before the Revolution for the Baptists, Presbyterians, and Independents, housed the area Baptists, who were constituted 1794. By 1804 its congregation had built a "handsome and commodious wooden meetinghouse" on this lot, commanding a view of the whole town from the front.
