History

On April 27. 1846, the cornerstone for the church was laid for the church. It was built of dark-red sandstone in Gothic architecture, with a corner tower and a 175-foot spire. The interior of the building was finished in black walnut. On April 7, 1847, the building was dedicated. The church adopted the name the "Rowe Street Baptist Society".[1][nb 1]

The intended pastor for the church was Mr. Hague, but his ill health had prevented him from leading the church. On November 1, 1848 Rev. Baron Stow, previously with the Baldwin Place (second Baptist) Church in the North End, was called as the church pastor. In 1853 there were 275 members and more than 400 Sunday school students.[1]

Notes
  1. The congregation that had the church built and named was founded in 1827. It was located in south Boston.[1][2]
