Bynes, a member of the congregation who was a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, and is unusual as an "outstanding example of African-American church architecture in Georgia at the beginning of the 20th century", at a time when most churches founded and built by blacks were usually "plain, one-room frame structures, rectangular in shape with gable roofs" with "little or no ornamentation or architectural detailing."[2]: 6–7 The interior has 12 curved rows of pews arranged in a semi-circle.[2] References
