A beautiful historic building centered on College Hill in Providence, RI. Still standing on the founding principles that brought Roger Williams to this location in 1638. "We reserve the right to accept EVERYONE".

It is what it is - not awe inspiring, but interesting history and you can tell what it must have been like to be in it when it was built.

Many churches call themselves "First Church of..." but this actually is the first Baptist Church in America. The building is beautiful. Oddly enough, the building serves as the home of Brown's commencement ceremony.
