Back in February 2008, we took a look at the First Baptist church at the corner of Mercer & Tuscarora in downtown Windsor.
At the time, I had said that I knew little about the building’s history. A little research this year, has uncovered a bit more.
From the Evening Record, May 17, 1915:
Leybourne & Sewell were the successors to the firm of Leybourne & Whitney who we saw a few times earlier this year looking at several of their buildings.
Have a safe weekend everyone, we’ll see you back here Monday.

hmm….the postcard says it’s on Windsor Ave. the building is in great shape, although they should do away with those plywood bells and throw the louvers back in.
man i love those old street lights.
nice to see the house next door on tuscarora is still standing too
Hello, what a wonderful site. My grandmother Adelsia Bon(Bons or sometime spelled Delsie Bond) grew up across the street on Mercer and was a member of this church. I have tried to obtain more information on the church to which she was a member going back to the early 1900’s as she was born in 1898. In fact Rev. L. Wells presided over the marriage between Adelsia and Frank L. A. Staff in 1918. I have been told church records burned in a fire. Can you help me find information ? I now have two grandchildren and would like to leave them some written history.
Thank you.Sheila Powell
