Tazewell Baptist Church

-A A +A
1890; later additions. Tower St. at Church St.

Another of the town's late-nineteenth-century frame Gothic Revival churches (see TZ8), this one, too, has a steeply pitched gabled roof. Now clad with vinyl siding, the church has a gable-end entrance with a large pointed-arched double door flanked by two smaller ones. The pointed-arched triple window in the gable is repeated in the south side's narrow gable. A three-stage corner tower on the southeast corner of the facade concludes with a steep spire and is balanced on the facade's opposite corner by a small turret. A gabled-roof addition in the rear serves as the baptistry. The interior has been altered.
