Originally built as the First Baptist Church, the Bell Towers is a historic church complex presently used as an office building. Constructed in 1931, the structure was built of reinforced concrete and is the only religious structure of its era to survive the 1952 Kern County earthquake that destroyed many of downtown Bakerfield's historic structures. It is also one of the few buildings in the area to remain relatively unaltered over the ensuing years. The structure was placed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on January 2, 1979.
