08. Fourth Baptist Church
Southwest corner of Ashland Ave. and Monroe St.
ca. 1880s by Charles F. Whittlesey
Demolished ca. 1920; now the site of a retail and apartment complex

This large brown granite church was one of many that lined the once elite Ashland Avenue. As residences were razed for industry, this church was demolished and replaced by Weiboldt's Department Store, a building that has also since been replaced.
