Notes

2021-12-01 - Built by Charles S. Haskell, and appeared on an opus list published by the firm in *The Diapason,* January, 1909. From Presbytarian Churches in Kensington, "The Presbytery of Philadelphia merged the Kensington and York Street churches in 1892 at York and Coral Streets, as the Union Tabernacle Presbyterian Church. The united congregation flourished for the next 30 years, but after World War I membership began to decline. In 1974, the roof of the church collapsed. Instead of attempting a costly repair, the congregation merged with the nearby Cumberland Street United Methodist Church at Cumberland and Coral Streets, as the Union Tabernacle Presbyterian Church. The session reported 113 members and 58 in the church school in 1990." -Paul R. Marchesano
