First Missionary Baptist, Brinkley

Founded in 1875 as Brinkley's First Baptist. The lancet windows and the back 2/3rds of the church are original to the building, while it's clear the lighter bricks were part of the 1975 remodel.

Here's a closer look at the dividing line. Notice half the brick window surround is part of the addition.
