First Free Will Baptist Church and Vestry warrant a dedicated sanctuary, which was built in 1834. Details of its original form are sketchy, because it underwent a series of alterations to both its exterior and interior between 1872 and 1915. These rendered the building into one that is essentially entirely Late Victorian in character, with arched stained glass windows, shingling in the tower stages, and other features reflective of that period. The old vestry was built about 1835, and is typical of period academy buildings. This one was used to house a school and the vestry, the latter use in exchange for its siting on church-owned land.
A Ghost Is Born the coda of "At Least That's What You Said". Tweedy refers to the guitar solo at the end of the track as a "musical transcription" of one of his panic attacks. "A Ghost Is Born" was recorded in a manner different from "Foxtrot" or 1999's "Summerteeth"; whereas those recordings were performed live in the studio and then overdubbed, "A Ghost Is Born" was first performed on Pro Tools and only played live once completed. Tweedy was excited about writing an album this way: An unusual feature of "A Ghost Is Born" is the fifteen-minute long track "Less Than You Think".
