English: Second Temple Baptist Church, 796 East Delavan Avenue at Deerfield Avenue, Buffalo, New York, July 2020. A Late Gothic Revival building erected in 1915 and enlarged in 1923, the design is very typical of the work of local architect John H. Coxhead, with its cross-gabled plan, steepleless corner tower, and ornamental keystones atop bluntly-pointed Gothic arches. A mission congregation of the Parkside Baptist Church founded in 1896 to serve the newly urbanizing German-American community gathering in the section of town then commonly known as the Jammerthal, the congregation met for its first years in a frame chapel a block west of the present building before overcrowding forced them to construct the one seen here. The congregation dissolved in 1969, and the current owners - another Baptist church, but with a majority-black congregation - purchased the building two years later.
