| Summary: | The Ballard Baptist Church constructed this building in 1916 at the corner of 20th NW and NW 63rd Street. In 1893, members of the First Swedish Baptist Church of Seattle had ventured beyond the confines of downtown Seattle to make their home in Ballard, at that time a town of about six hundred people. As did most of the inhabitants of Ballard, they came originally from Scandinavia. They were determined to establish a Swedish Church in their community. This photo is part of an album titled "The Swedes' Life and Work in the State of Washington" and was acquired by the Swedish Club of Seattle. Some of the photos in the album are signed Nordlands Foto Company, K.E. Nordland owner, 1707 Market Street, Ballard. 1 photographic print: b&w; 8 x 10 in.
