First Baptist Church of Ventura
First Baptist Church of Ventura, Mayan Revival church in Ventura, United States

Architect Robert Stacy-Judd completed the church renovation in 1932, transforming the original 1926 structure into a remarkable example of Mayan Revival architecture.
The building represents a period when American architects drew inspiration from pre-Columbian civilizations, incorporating ancient Mesoamerican design elements into modern structures.
