Description
The Fredonia Baptist Church is located on Fredonia Road, off Tennessee Highway 179, that is
located near the community of Stanton in Haywood County, Tennessee. Built in 1957, this building
is the fourth church building to be built on this site. The first worship center was a temporary
structure, the second was destroyed by fire and the third was demolished in preparation for the
current building. The current church building is brick and designed in a “T” shape, a popular floor
plan for churches during this period. It rests on a brick foundation and has an asphalt shingle
gable roof. In 1986, the congregation added a Fellowship Hall annex that is connected by a
hyphen to the side rear of the church. The Fellowship Hall is considered to be a separate non-contributing
building in this nomination.
The east facade contains a centrally placed, projecting, aluminum sided pediment resting on four
slender square columns. A concrete porch floor with brick foundation supports the portico and is
accessed by four concrete steps and two metal handrails that lead to the primary entrance of the
church, a set of double glass doors. Place symmetrically on either side of the set of doors is one
four-paned, metal-framed, frosted glass window. Each pane of these windows reflects a different
color such as: yellow, pink, red, green, violet, blue and white. Placed at the highest point of the
gable end of this facade, is a triangular air vent. A distinctive feature that is common throughout
the exterior is a brick header course laid vertically and running along the top of the windows. The
date stone is located to the southeast bottom corner of the east facade.
The south elevation is comprised of two sections; the main portion of the sanctuary that
corresponds to the bottom of the “T” contains five four-paned, metal framed, frosted glass windows
that are evenly spaced; the second portion or cross of the “T” is front gabled and has one four-paned,
metal-framed,
frosted glass window centrally placed in the gable end roof line. This section projects
approximately eight feet. At the southeast juncture of the “T” is a side entrance.
The west elevation is also capped by the gable end roof line and in the highest point is located
another triangular air vent. The same four-paned, metal-framed, frosted glass windows are evenly
