St. Thomas' (African) Church. Southwest corner of Fifth and Adelphi Street. The Revd. Absalom Jones,(colored) first Rector. Photograph by Richards.

Description

Exterior view of the first African Episcopal church in the United States at the corner of Fifth and Adelphi (i.e. Saint James) streets, in Philadelphia. The church was established in 1794 by the religious and beneficient organization, the Free African Society, as a result of the discriminatory practices of the city's congregations. Absalom Jones, a freed slave, became rector of the church in 1796 and remained as its minister until his death in 1818.

I'm wondering about 737 S. 7th Steet. Lorenzo Bozzelli was listed as the owner of this property on the 1910 census. My great grandfather on father's side had this address on his ship record in 1903. My great grandfather on my grandmothers side listed this address in 1907??? I do not see the picture of the address?
