History[edit]

The Wake Forest Historic District application to the National Register of Historic Places provides the following description of the property:

"Episcopal Church of St. John the Baptist. (South Main Baptist Chapel).

Small front-gabled concrete block chapel with a gabled entrance vestibule,

and metal casement windows in the 5-bay deep side elevations. A Ranch-style

house with 8-over-8 sash windows and vinyl siding is attached at the rear. It is

apparently the same age, and serves as the parsonage. This was built as an

Episcopal chapel in 1955, but is now a Baptist chapel."[2]
