British Methodist Episcopal Church, Salem Chapel
British Methodist Episcopal Church, Salem Chapel, Methodist church in St. Catharines, Canada.
The Salem Chapel features pointed-arch windows, wood construction materials, and walnut benches arranged in a three-sided gallery layout spanning two floors.
In 1855, Bishop Daniel Alexander Payne dedicated this church, which became a central location for the Underground Railroad movement in Canada.
The congregation established strong connections with Harriet Tubman, who resided nearby from 1851 to 1858 while conducting rescue missions.
Located at 92 Geneva Street, the chapel maintains weekly worship services at 11:00 AM and offers guided tours displaying original artifacts.
The structure represents an auditory-hall form design, characteristic of early African Canadian churches built during the anti-slavery movement period.
