Wesley AME Zion Church
Wesley AME Zion Church, African Methodist Episcopal church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Located at 1500 Lombard Street, Wesley AME Zion Church exhibits Gothic Revival architecture with a corner bell tower, spire, and pointed arch windows.
The congregation established in 1820 initially held services in a Carpenter's Shed before constructing their first brick building at Lombard Street.
The church maintained leadership in civil rights movements during the 1950s and 1960s while serving the African American Methodist Episcopal community.
The sanctuary occupies the second floor, accessible through triple-portal doors and a foyer bordered by grand staircases leading to the main level.
The U-shaped balcony receives natural light through stained glass windows positioned strategically on every side of the church structure.
