The Allen Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in 1875, and architect William Sidney Pittman drew up the designs for this sanctuary in 1914. The building’s design demonstrates a modified Tudor Gothic Revival style, with tall stained-glass windows and a bell tower on one corner. To see another well-preserved, architecturally similar structure, visit St. Paul United Methodist Church in Dallas.
