Notes
2025-01-01 - Church built 1891, parish closed in 1985, and building was redeveloped into the King Urban Center, then into the King Center Charter School. A fire in 1947 destroyed most of the church interior, and possibly the organ. The instrument pictured could be from post-fire, or could be from earlier. -Andrew Scanlon
