Summary edit

Description

Mt. Vernon Place AME Church, Mt. Vernon Place NW Massachusetts Ave at 9th St. NW

---The Southern branch of the Methodist Episcopal Church resulted in a schism over the slavery question before the Civil War. Because the Southern Methodists wanted a permanant symbol of their denomination in the nation's capital, members from 15 southern states raised most of the money to build this large Doric porticoed church in 1917.

---Architects were Sauginet and Staats of Fort Worth, TX.

---This Neoclassis temple that resulted was constructed exclusively of material from the South: marble from Georgia and wood from Louisiana and the Carolinas

---Mt. Vernon Place Methodist has traditionally had the largest congregation of any Protestant denomination in the city.
