United States historic place
Beale Street Baptist Church, also known as, First Baptist Church or Beale Avenue Baptist Church, is a historic church on Beale Street , in Memphis, Tennessee . It is affiliated with the National Baptist Convention, USA .
It was founded by a congregation of freed slaves. It was designed by the prominent Memphis architectural firm Jones & Baldwin, a partnership between Edward Culliatt Jones and Matthias Baldwin . Its foundation stone was laid in 1869, and it was constructed between 1871 and 1885.[2] [3] Ida B. Wells , the famous civil rights journalist. Over the years, Ulysses S. Grant and Teddy Roosevelt made visits to the church.[4]
The structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971,[4] National Historic Landmark District of Beale Street in 1993. Adjacent to the church, a plaza dedicated to Ida B. Wells was established in 2021.[5]
