Title
The church in 13th Street above Market, Phila. [graphic].
Publisher
Philadelphia
Publisher
PA. Philadelphia. 1832
Date
[ca. 1832]
Physical Description
1 print : lithograph ; 25 x 38 cm. (10 x 15 in.)
Description
Exterior view of the front facade and flank of the Ninth Presbyterian Church showing well-dressed men, women and children entering the left and right entrances. The church, adorned with Gothic arched windows and details, was built circa 1815 on North Thirteenth Street with funds donated by Margaret Duncan to serve the poor and working class of Philadelphia. Originally named the Second Associate Reformed Church, the church was also commonly known as Margaret Duncan's Church or the Vow Church. Controversy over John Chambers appointment as a new minister of the church in the mid 1820s influenced his decision to form a new congregation with his supporters in 1830. They moved to the much larger First Independent Church at Broad and Sansom Streets. This lithograph may have been created to commemorate the installation of a new minister at the Thirteenth Street church in 1832.
