First Congregational Church - 1905

Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Lindsay Avenue

This historically African-American church building was erected in 1905 and today remains as one of the few tangible reminders of the active community that once lined both sides of “the big 9.” As early as 1967, the tall tower on the southeast corner of the church was removed to preven debris from falling onto the sidewalk. Deterioration and a lack of repair threaten this building, which is again on the market for sale or lease.
