Rayfield's Romanesque architectural style, which incorporated thick walls, rounded arches, large towers, and decorative arcading, defied the more popular Gothic trend [at the time] throughout the south. This signature style is evident in his many designs, including the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, the site of the infamous bombing on Sept. 15, 1963, and also Tuscaloosa's first African American church, Hunter's Chapel AME Zion, and Ebenezer Baptist Church in Chicago. --Ashley Boyd, The Tuscaloosa News
