  Civil War to Civil Rights Downtown Heritage Trail W.3 Asbury United Methodist Church. "... watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen..." Stories of slavery and freedom, of struggle and achievement, are woven through the history of this African American congregation. Founded in 1836, by the time of the Civil War Asbury United Methodist Church was the preeminent black church in the city, its membership of 600 making it the largest of 11 African American congregations in Washington. Today, Asbury counts among its members descendants of District slaves who tried a dramatic escape to freedom in 1848 aboard the ship Pearl. Churches were centers of community life for African Americans, who had represented more than one-quarter of the population of the nation's capital since 1800. By 1830, a majority had gained their freedom. Despite "Black Codes" that severely restricted their movements and activities, free African Americans practiced a variety of trades, ran their own businesses, and set up schools. By 1860, free blacks owned property in every quadrant of the city. Asbury United Method Church is the oldest black congregation in the District of Columbia on its original site. The current sanctuary dates from 1915. Since its founding, Asbury's members have played leading roles in the life of the city, and its spiritual, educational, and humanitarian activities have symbolized the efforts of black congregations throughout Washington D.C., to attain equality for the city's many African American communities.

Wikipedia Description: Mount Vernon Place United Methodist Church and Asbury House
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mount Vernon Place United Methodist Church and Asbury House is a historic United Methodist church located at Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is a Norman-Gothic-style church that was completed in 1872. It was designed by Thomas Dixon, a Baltimore architect and is built of blocks of a unique metabasalt, a green-toned Maryland fieldstone, with brownstone ornamentation. It features three spires.

Mount Vernon Place United Methodist Church and Asbury House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. It is located in the Mount Vernon Place Historic District.

Mount Vernon Place United Methodist Church should not be confused with another church of the same name in Washington, DC, which served as the national representative congregation for the Methodist Episcopal Church, South from 1850 to 1939.
