Information

St Mark A.M.E Church built the foundation of their worship center in 1918. After a decade, in 1928, the members themselves used their own wheelbarrows and muscles to move the bricks, windows and doors from the dismantled neighboring church and built their own architect-designed church. St. Mark A.M.E. Church was Wilkinsburg's first primarily African-American congregation.
