Building History

Benjamin Franklin McAdoo, Jr., (1920-1981) designed this church for Bothell's 1st Baptist Church congregation in 1959. Cosntruction occurred into 1960. A Seattle Sunday Times illustration said of the new house of worship: "Construction of this church building for the Bothell First Baptist Church will get under way soon, Benjamin F. McAdoo, architect, announced yesterday. The building is the first unit of a master plan for the church's expanding needs in the Bothell area, and is in line with the announced plans of the National Southern Baptist Convention for expanding its work in the Pacific Northwest. A membership fund drive has been under way for some months, the Rev. W.D. Williams, pastor, said. A sanctuary to seat 200 person, classrooms, nursey and fellowship hall are included. Brick-and-frame construction, using glue-laminated arches and beams, will be employed. Plans also call for a screened garden court visible from the sanctuary. The site is on the northwest corner of 104th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 195th Street." (See "In Bothell," Seattle Sunday Times, 12/13/1959, Real Estate Section, p. 6.)
