Country Churches: First Baptist, Elida NM

If you're familiar with Elida, it's probably because you stopped for gas there, travelling between Clovis/Portales and Roswell. It's the only town between them. Fortunately, the only convenience store in town, Allsup's, is first rate.
The town itself features some interesting sites, including this church. At first, I thought it was a Catholic parish, with its missionesque front. But it's a Baptist nod to the locale, offset with glass block windows and cross, not to mention the brown brick detailing. It works for me, I like the look of the thing. It is both of its time, circa 1923, and its region.
