First Baptist Church of Orange

First Baptist Church of Orange is a church building in Queen Anne style located on South Orange Street, featuring ornamental details and Gothic-inspired elements throughout its exterior. The structure displays the decorative craftsmanship and distinctive architectural characteristics typical of the late 1800s.

The building was constructed in 1893 and underwent significant modifications in 1912 that altered its architectural form. It functioned as an active religious center for the community until 1992.

The building represents the evolution of religious architecture in Orange County and stands as evidence of Baptist community development in California.

The building no longer operates as a church and now houses a restaurant in its interior spaces. Visitors should be aware that the inside is not open for viewing in its original religious function.

The structure occupies less than one acre of land and received National Register of Historic Places designation on March 28, 1996.
