18 BGW – St. Paul’s Episcopal Church/Baptist Church Site:

The original 1777 plan of the town included a churchyard at the corner of Front and Church Streets, but the earliest known church structure, Smithfield Baptist, was built on this lot in 1835. It was a simple one-room meeting house with a gallery for slaves and was used as a temporary hospital for Confederate soldiers in 1865. The present Early English Gothic style sanctuary on this site was built in 1949 by the congregation of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.
