First Baptist Church

First Baptist Church was completed in 1932 under the supervision of local architect Charles H. Biggar (1882 - 1946). Designed in the Northern Italian Romanesque architectural style, the building is described in the National Register of Historic Places as the finest remaining example of its architectural type not only in Metropolitan Bakersfield and Kern County, but in the entire southern San Joaquin Valley. In 1978, First Baptist Church closed at this location, and the building was converted to office space and renamed Old Church Plaza.
