Fitzpatrick Baptist Church

Fitzpatrick Rd. (CR 7 off Hwy. 110), Fitzpatrick, AL 36029

Bullock County

Fitzpatrick Baptist Church was founded in 1897, although what is now an unincorporated town with a population under a thousand was founded in the mid-nineteenth century. The building can be loosely categorized as a country example of the Renaissance Revival style, a hybrid form of neoclassicism. Features in that style include the heavy octagonal steeple and Serlian, or Palladian, window in the pediment, the dentilated cornice, and the columns’ Scamozzi Ionic capitals. Scamozzi capitals solved the decorative problem posed by Greek Ionic capitals, which appear differently when viewed from front and side.

The church is open on special occasions.
