Description Unfinished proof showing an interior view of the Baptist church during a baptism. Parishioners fill the pews and balconies. The men, women, and children look toward a small group of individuals as they stand in front of the pulpit before they proceed to the baptismal well in the center of the church. Many of the women wear ornate bonnets. Incomplete depictions include the well and parishioners. The church, organized by Dr. William Staughton, was built 1811-1812 after the designs of Robert Mills on the 800 block of Sansom Street.
