NICO - 13379 - Preserve the First Baptist Church

The Department of the Interior is forecasting a project to preserve the First Baptist Church, focusing on the exterior restoration and interior rehabilitation of the 2544 square foot building and its associated 0.15 acre grounds. This historic structure, built in 1907, is a key component of the National Historic Site and will be restored to its original period appearance, including the restoration of the gothic arched windows and the installation of a bell tower with a replica bell. The project is categorized under NAICS code 238210 and is managed by the National Park Service. Cassie Branstetter serves as the primary point of contact for this effort, which aims to maintain the building as a representation of religion and family tradition within the park's enabling legislation.
