Original Description (from Book): c. 1850 altered c. 1890. This was built as the Clay Street AME Church by Albert West, a notable Richmond architect. It was originally Italianate in style. It was later given a fashionable Gothic front. The loss of its steeple and the blue and white window panels have compromised its appearance, but it remains a major local landmark.
