First African Baptist Church and Parsonage in Georgetown, Kentucky, holds historical significance as a church building and parsonage dating back to 1870, when it was constructed after the First Baptist Church relocated to a site near Georgetown College. The original building on West Jefferson Street was leased to local black Baptists, leading to the formation of a new congregation solely for black worshippers.
The church's Gothic Revival style architecture features a single centered entrance with three lancet arches, replacing the original twin doors for separate entry by men and women. Designated on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1984, the church stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Georgetown community.
