Notes
  • See HABS No. KS-49 for list of structures that are contributing to the historic district and fieldnotes.
  • Significance: Probably, the first relatively significant stone church edifice on Nicodemus town site. Native stone structure was built by congregation in 1885, and was considered one of the finest structures, valued at $1000 in 1895. It is an outstanding example of vernacular religious building with evidence of some detailing, ie. arched openings and vestibule. Church epitomizes the evolution of building on the town site: additions over time are distinguishable and limestone is treated with stucco to temporarily deter facade and structural deterioration. Sanctuary was utilized by two different pioneer congregations: Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church congregation and later, the African Methodist Episcopal Church congregation. Presently used as farm equipment storage by local resident.
