Baker Methodist Episcopal Church
The Baker Memorial Methodist Church was located at the corner of Columbia Road and Cushing Avenue. It opened in June, 1891. It was a beautiful and ornamental building. The edifice was of pink stone quarried from Savin Hill. The first floor contained the chapel and auditorium with a seating capacity of 800. Th second floor contained classrooms and a gallery. The interior was finished throughout in natural oak and with modern electricity the stained glass windows were illuminated to great effect. The church went up for auction in 1943 and could have been used for the new Saint Kevin's Church but Mrs. Sarah Baker syted in her will that should the church fall into disuse it was not to go to the Catholic Church. The church was demolished. From 1952 to 1979 the Upham's Corner Gulf Station occupied this site. It then became a parking lot for the First National Bank.
