The First Baptist Church of Fairport is located at 94 South Main Street at Church Street in Fairport, Monroe County, New York. Built in 1876, it is a 2+1/2-story, cruciform plan, High Victorian Gothic church. It is constructed of brick and rests on a Medina sandstone foundation.
The church features a large square corner tower topped by a tall narrow spire. It has a steeply pitched gray slate roof, ornamental stone trim, and 72 original stained, leaded glass windows.
In 2006, a national drugstore tried to buy the land. Local youth musicians held a concert to protest the purchase, and money was raised to help repair the church in response to the attempt. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
