Granville Street
Edenton Baptist Church, circa 1916

     This Colonial Revival structure was built between 1916 and 1920, by J. M. McMicheal.  While it is recorded that construction began on March 7, 1916, the Church wasn't completed until June 27, 1920, largely due to WWI.  

     The Edenton Baptist Church congregation had been officially organized since 1817, and built its first church soon after.  The original church burned down in 1870 and a new one was constructed in 1875.  

     Edenton Baptist Church was at one time the home to Reverend Thomas Meredith, who started the printing of the still active Biblical Recorder, and who is the namesake of Meredith College.
