Because I am showing this card on consecutive
pages, I feel an explanation is in order. The African Methodist Episcopal
Denomination was founded in 1787 by Richard Allen in Philadelphia. African
Americans in Cincinnati during the early part of the 19th century worshiped at
the white Methodist Episcopal churches but were treated in a discriminatory
manner. The Reverends James King and Phillip Brodie decided they could no longer
tolerate the prejudicial treatment. In 1824 they founded Cincinnati's A.M.E.
congregation. They relocated to several buildings in the African American
district around 6th and Broadway.
In 1870 they bought the former Bene Israel Synagogue at 538
Broadway seen in the card above. Because their earlier churches were continuously
being vandalized this building was ideal because it was larger, more secure, and
had barred windows and a iron fence. Also the symbolism of the Jews being freed
slaves was also important. They called it the Allen Temple because the church
they had used previous had been called the Allen Chapel after the founder of the
A.M.E. church. The congregation moved to the Roselawn Baptist Church on Reading
Road in 1979. This building was demolished to make way for Proctor and Gamble's
twin towers.

The Glendale First Presbyterian Church at 155 East Fountain Avenue was organized at a meeting in the Glendale Female College in November of 1855. In 1860 the members erected the first church to be built in Glendale. A newer larger church was built in 1873 next to the original structure. The exterior of the building was entirely refurbished and restored in 1973.
