Birmingham Churches and Their Cornerstones 105

Raleigh Avenue Baptist Church was established in West Homewood in 1956 with support from Dawson Memorial Baptist Church. It erected its current colonial-revival sanctuary in 1963. Like several other buildings of its day including Shades Valley Luthern Church, its education build was erected with exterior hallways.

As at Sixty-Seventh Street Methodist, erected across town a decade earlier, the cornerstone appears as one of the quions on the building, though here the quions are all brick except for the one that is the inscribed cornerstone.
