Keachi Baptist Church is a historic Baptist church on Louisiana Highway 172 in Keachi in Desoto Parish, Louisiana. The building was constructed in about 1880 in a transitional architectural style, between late Greek Revival and the Gothic Revival.[2][3]
It has auditorium-style seats which appear to have been salvaged from the former Keachi Female College, across the roadway.[2][3]
It is significant as representing the persistence of the Greek Revival style in Desoto Parish well after the Civil War.[2][3]
The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
