Antioch Baptist Church (St. Louis, Missouri)

About

The Antioch Baptist Church in St. Louis, Missouri is a church long important in the Black community of the Ville neighborhood of North St. Louis. It is located in a Gothic Revival-style brick building at 4213 N. Market St. which was built in 1921. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.

The church was established in 1878 by 12 members of the Black community at a home on what was then named Wash Street in what was then Elleardsville, a suburb recently incorporated into the city. The congregation grew, and eventually acquired a site on Kennerly, built a frame church, and was incorporated in 1884.
