Abstract
The Speedway Terrace Baptist Church was built in 1952 and designed by architect Nowland Van Powell. It is classical in style and located at 601 North Bellevue Boulevard in the Evergreen area of Memphis. The church is made of brick. There is a large and slender steeple. There is an exaggerated pediment on the fa�ade of the building. The building seems unbalanced as a whole, but there is actually quite a bit of symmetry in certain areas. The building can be divided into three parts; there?s the part with the large pediment, the part with the large columns, and the part connecting the two. For more information see Memphis: An Architectural Guide by Eugene J. Johnson.
