Today

Today the church’s interior probably looks much like it did in when it was built. This is, in part, due to the donations of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. in 1957 in order to restore the church to its original appearance and remove the rich Victorian ornamentation that had adorned the church since the 1850s. At the time of its construction the First Baptist Meeting House was the largest building project ever attempted in New England and remains one to this day, it remains one of Providence’s most impressive architectural sites.
