Staff Comments
First Baptist Church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, however, staff has determined that it is not feasible to get replacement limestone to match the existing. These stair treads must be replaced because they hav cracked and are shifting. The new concrete stair treads will help stabilize the remaining limestone stair treads.
