You can tell that both the before and after shots above are not of the main sanctuary, because the pic of the main sanctuary posted by Jollyburger does not have a balcony.
One the plans of the project posted way back, there were only 2 assembly halls, so the before and after pics must be of the same space, if not the main sanctuary.
EDIT:
Found the plans which show rounded corner pews being retained in the main sanctuary.
So s211 is correct in that the before shot above is the main sanctuary, whereas the after is of the second assembly hall (Pinder Hall). The bulkhead in the left back corner of the rendering also conforms with the plan. What we don't have is a 'before' pic of Pinder Hall (which may not be recent if it was renovated to fill in the old balcony). The ceiling of the renovated Pinder Hall still leaves a lot to be desired.
So it also seems that the pic Jollyburger posted is not of the main sanctuary of First Baptist, despite being from the First Baptist website(?) - ie no balcony and the ceiling is different than the 'before' pic of the main sanctuary.
