Historic Districts - Quinn Chapel
AME Church
 Founded
in 1875 and named in memory of Paul Quinn, the fourth bishop of the
African Methodist Episcopal Church. Quinn Chapel is the oldest black
congregation in Genesee County. This building, is the congregation's
third house of worship. A debate society organized by the young men
of the church paid the debt on the first church building, erected in
1877, with admission fees earned from Friday night debates. In 1912
a large brick structure replaced the original frame church. The city
of Flint demolished that building in 1955 to make way for the Civic
Center.
