The Fredonia Cumberland Presbyterian Church, in Fredonia, Kentucky, also known as Unity Missionary Baptist Church is a historic church on U.S. Highway 641. It was built in 1892 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
It is described as "a straightforward, well-executed version of Victorian Gothic architecture used in the construction of many Protestant churches in Kentucky during the late 19th century."[2]
It is a cruciform-plan church which has a square bell tower. It originally had a cupola, but that was destroyed by lightning in 1925 and was not replaced.[2]
