The First Baptist Church (302 W. Monroe St.) of Phoenix, with its stunning stone columns, Italian Gothic details, and arched doorways was built in 1929. It was designed by architect George Merrill from the New York-based Department of Architecture of the American Baptist Home Mission Society. Although it is basically a Gothic church it has clean lines, a large porthole window, and less filigree than one would expect. The church is a ruin now, is empty an unused. Its interior was destroyed in a fire in the early 90s. This building was saved from demolition by, then, Mayor Terry Goddard, who had, what was left of the structure, placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Information from:
