Ronoake Baptist Church
The Ronoake Baptist Church is a historic church in rural Clark County, Arkansas. The church is located at the end of Ronoake Church Road, off United States Route 67 north of Gurdon. The single-story wood frame church was built in 1945 to serve an African-American congregation founded in 1893, and is an excellent example of Craftsman architecture. It has a low-pitch gable roof with broad eaves, with exposed rafter tails, kingpost supports, and banks of windows characteristic of the style. The church's fellowship hall dates to roughly the same period, and has similar styling.[2]
