History and architectural features
Designed by the noted Philadelphia architects Hazelhurst & Huckel and built between 1888 and 1889, it was created using cut stone. Designed in the Richardsonian Romanesque style, this church has an entrance archway with squat Syrian columns and features a prominent front gable, chimneys, towers and pinnacles. The gable has a checkerboard pattern of stone and a Palladian window.

The church's interior is divided into two principal levels, a first floor Sunday School, and the second floor sanctuary with balcony. During the 1930s, the church was sold to Jones Tabernacle AME Church, which operated under the leadership of Rev. Richard R. Wright, Jr., son of Richard R. Wright (1855-1947).

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
