Mars Hill Baptist Church, also known as Fries Memorial Moravian Church, is a historic African-American Baptist church. It is located at Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, North Carolina, and was built in 1915. It is a T-shaped brick building with corner tower in the Gothic Revival style. Also on the property is the parsonage; a one-story, pebble-dash finished Queen Anne-style dwelling. It has a high hipped roof, a central hipped dormer, and a hipped-roof full-front porch supported by fluted columns. It was originally built for a white Moravian congregation, until the Mars Hill Baptist Church congregation purchased the building in 1944 for $4,000.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
