Significance:
Founded in 1873, the Allen AME Church congregation moved from its first home at 1923-1927 Lombard Street (see entry) to this location about 1910. According to Cooperman, the congregation moved into the former First Church of the Covenanters Presbyterian Church building, constructed ca. 1870. The congregation continued in this building through at least 1962, when it moved to its current home at 5901 Larchwood Avenue (see entry). The former church building is currently occupied by the New Light Beulah Baptist Church congregation.
