The image is a postcard depicting the First Baptist Church in America, located in Providence, Rhode Island.

It is the oldest Baptist congregation in the United States, founded by Roger Williams in 1638.
For many years after its founding, services were held in homes or outdoors, and the current meeting house was not built until 1775.
The building is located at the base of College Hill, with the college president often serving as the church pastor in its early history.
The church was founded on the principles of religious liberty, soul freedom, and the separation of church and state.
