First Baptist Simpsonville

First Baptist Simpsonville is a Protestant church in Simpsonville, South Carolina, built between 1913 and 1914. The building features two prominent towers with Moorish elements constructed from Flemish-bond brick and topped with sheet metal-covered roofs, while numerous round-headed windows with rubbed brick arches and stone keystones decorate the facades.

The building was erected from 1913 to 1914 under architect Luther D. Proffitt's direction as an important place of worship for the growing community. It gained recognition in 1992 when added to the National Register of Historic Places, confirming its historical and architectural value to the region.

The twin towers with Moorish influence serve as a recognizable landmark in the community. The brick structure with its round-headed windows shapes the neighborhood's appearance and reflects the architectural preferences of the early 1900s.

The building sits along Church Street with good visibility of its unique architecture from the road. Access is straightforward, and visitors can easily view the exterior facade with its decorative brick elements and windows.

The west and south sides feature large stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes inspired by English artist Holman Hunt's work. These windows demonstrate the artistic care invested in the building's design and create special visual qualities within the interior space.
