Freewill Baptist Church-Peoples Baptist Church-New Hope Church
The Freewill Baptist Church—Peoples Baptist Church—New Hope Church is a historic church at 45 Pearl Street in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It is a two story wood frame structure, built in 1857 and enlarged in 1868. It is an excellent local example of religious Italianate architecture, and is further notable as the first church building in New Hampshire to be owned by a predominantly African-American congregation. The church was built for a Freewill Baptist congregation, which also made the 1868 expansion, which enlarged the church to the front and added the steeple. It was purchased in 1915 by an offshoot of the Middle Street Baptist Church, which organized as the People's Baptist Church in 1893.
