Third Baptist Church is an interesting situation, where the interior is much older than the exterior, which was renovated in 1950. The interior dates from 1885.

The fine grand Kilgen organ is still there and used in concerts.
A former pastor was a dynamic speaker , broadcast on radio and at the finale of his sermon that organ would blast a massive crescendo – all stops out !! I think he was related to a famous Confederate General ? Very robust church.
