The take
Two buildings tell the story: the congregation worships in its newer home, while the landmark 1911 sanctuary across the street went on to seed the city's Afro-American Cultural Center. The founding date is given variously as the 1870s or 1884 — either way, this is one of the city's oldest Black congregations.
