“The little architectural details of various buildings. An oriole window, stained glass windows, the corbels or mansard roofs, the special patterns of tiles or bricks.”

The historic Tacony Baptist Church has long stood as an example of our neighborhood’s beautiful architectural features.
With a congregation that can trace its history as far back as 1881 and an addition constructed out of completely unique building materials, the “Grindstone Church” is a must see in Tacony. Visit www.taconybaptist.org to learn more!
