First Baptist Church of Augusta
802 Greene St
Augusta, GA 30901
Description
The historic First Baptist Church of Augusta offers a unique opportunity to own a substantial part of history. The site was the birthplace of the Southern Baptist Convention and is on the national register of historic places. The building is over 16,000 square feet and consists of a 2 story office building in the rear and a large sanctuary with 80 foot ceilings in the front. The office building in the rear has a new TPO roof to prevent water penetration and has been largely cleared out. Currently the site has temporary power and a preliminary application for historic tax credits has been drafted. This is an ideal project for a group familiar with using the historic tax program. The site has been inspected and received a favorable report by a structural engineer and many steps have been taken to prepare the site for redevelopment.
802 Greene Street is located at the corner of 8th Street and Greene at an important intersection in Downtown Augusta. The building is centrally located in between multiple multifamily projects. Site is a popular location among local photographers for wedding photos, producing a modest revenue stream monthly.
