Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The Freewill Baptist Church—Peoples Baptist Church—New Hope Church is a historic structure built in 1868 located at 45 Pearl Street in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The building, a fine local example of Italianate ecclesiastical architecture, was once owned by an African-American congregation. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in September 2002,[1] and the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places in January 2002.[2] Later home to the Portsmouth Pearl, a center of arts and culture, it has more recently hosted art exhibitions, theatrical productions, and event rentals.[3] Шаблон:Asof, the building is listed for sale at nearly $1.5 million.[4]
Description and history
The building is located just outside Portsmouth's central downtown business district, at the junction of Pearl and Hanover Streets. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade, facing Pearl Street, is three bays wide, with a center entrance set in a rounded-arch opening. The windows of the facade are elongated rounded-arch windows, set by pairs in round-arch opening in which the lozenge above is of stained glass. Rising from the roof ridge above the entrance is a short tower, with a flushboarded first stage that has corner pilasters, and a second belfry stage with round-arch louvered openings. The tower is finished with a short octagonal steeple.[5]
The church was built in 1857, originally shorter and without the tower. It was enlarged in 1868 by adding Шаблон:Convert to the front. It is an excellent local example of religious Italianate architecture, and is further notable as the first church building in New Hampshire to be owned by a predominantly African-American congregation. The church was built for a Freewill Baptist congregation, which also made the 1868 expansion. It was purchased in 1915 by an African-American offshoot of the Middle Street Baptist Church, which organized as the People's Baptist Church in 1893. It was the first church in Portsmouth to be owned by an African-American congregation. That congregation owned the building until 1984, when it reorganized and moved to a new space.[5] Martin Luther King Jr. preached at the church on October 26, 1952.[3]
