St. Paul Baptist Church is a historic African-American Baptist church located at Lloyd St and Edmondson Avenue in Tarboro, Edgecombe County, North Carolina.[2] The church was built in 1871, and is a one-story, irregularly massed frame building with multiple gabled wings, and a corner tower. It is sheathed in weatherboard with abundant wooden decoration. The interior features a large open sanctuary with a dome and oculus above. It was moved from its original Main Street site to the present location about 1926.[3]
