The First Church of Christ, Scientist in Atlanta, Georgia is the main congregation for the city’s Christian Science community. It is located in the city’s Midtown section and is a contributing property in the Ansley Park Historic District.

The church was opened in 1914, replacing a smaller church building at 17 West Baker Street, where services were held since 1899. The church’s architect, Arthur Neal Robinson, was also a congregant. The church claims to be the first air-conditioned building in Atlanta, having used a primitive system of involving fans blowing over blocks of ice placed in the passages beneath the floor of the main auditorium.
