Built in 1950 the First Baptist Church parsonage is a two story, three bay, double pile, brick veneered house with Colonial Revival characteristics. The symmetrical principal, south elevation has a center entrance with sidelights, corbeled brick quoins up to the second floor level, a shed roofed wing to the east, and single shoulder, stepped end chimneys. A small bellcast, standing seam metal roof entrance porch is supported by wrought iron posts. At the rear there are two shed roofed wings, one with a wall dormer, and a screened porch above the basement level garage.
