Sheathed with composition shingles, a prominent feature of the design are the tapered trusses fabricated from surplus drill stem pipe originally used in the Oklahoma oil fields. Other features of the design include a skylight composed of triangular glass panels meeting at the crown of the roof, a decorative spire made of slender steel rods and an entry of angled fieldstone walls. The Hopewell Baptist Church is an excellent example of the architecture of Bruce Goff during the time he was Director of the School of Architecture at the University of Oklahoma. Description The Hopewell Baptist Church is located on the corner of North 178th Street and MacArthur in rural Edmond, Oklahoma. Completed in 1951, the conical-shaped building has a dodecagonal (twelve-sided) plan and rises eighty feet to the top of the decorative spire. The roof, sheathed with composition shingles, is framed with twelve exposed steel trusses fabricated from welded sections of surplus 4" diameter drill stem pipe originally used in the Oklahoma oil fields. The tapered Warren trusses are set on isolated concrete footings and converge to a circular compression ring at the top. Horizontal bracing at the midpoint of the trusses is also constructed of welded 2%" diameter line pipe. The top of the church is terminated by triangular skylights surmounted by a decorative spire
