Name: African Methodist Church Address: Hamilton Avenue History: In 1840, Reverend William Paul Quinn introduced the African Methodist Episcopal faith to Alton and Brooklyn, IL and St. Louis. The African Methodist Church in St. Louis began in a small log cabin on Main Street. By the late 1850s, it moved to Eleventh and Lucas. In 1872, the congregation dedicated a new building at the same address. The church later moved to Mill Creek Valley and is now located on Hamilton as the St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church. |
