The First Baptist Church of Philadelphia, located at 123 South 17th Street at Sansom Street in the Center City neighborhood, was built in 1898-99 and was designed by Edgar Seeler in the Romanesque Revival style. The congregation was founded in 1698, and occupied at least five buildings before the current one. The building is also the location of the "Off Broad Street Theater", which hosts the Azuka Theatre and the Inis Nua Theatre Company.
