Its NRHP nomination describes:

Founded in the wake of the great fire of 1889, the North Side Baptist Church grew rapidly during the city's boom period; by 1903, the congregation had hundreds of members, established several missions, and laid ambitious plans for an expansive new house of worship designed by prominent architect J. K. Dow. When completed in 1911, the building was one of the most substantial structures on the growing north side, and one of the finest churches in the city. Today, it retains excellent integrity, and is distinguished by its arched openings, buttresses, battlemented parapets, stained glass, and dramatic interior auditorium.[2]
