Allen Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church
Allen Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church, Methodist church in Terre Haute, United States.
The Allen Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church features yellow brick walls, stone elements, and a corner tower topped with a cross.
After its establishment in 1837, the church served as a vital stop on the Underground Railroad with a tunnel leading to the Wabash River.
Frederick Douglass visited the congregation twice during the mid-19th century to assist with fundraising efforts for the construction of new facilities.
The church building stands at the intersection of Third and Crawford Streets, maintaining regular worship services for the local religious community.
The church received a bell from the first Vigo County Courthouse, which remained in place until a lightning strike damaged the structure in 1913.
