Caption: Tampa's St. Paul A.M.E. Church
Additional Description: St. Paul A.M.E. first organized in 1870. The Gothic revival-style building was built in 1914 and served as a focal point for the community during the civil rights movement. Over the decades it has played host to speakers such as the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., and President Bill Clinton.
In 2010, the congregation relocated to another site due to declining membership, and the final service in the building was held on August 29. The City of Tampa has assumed the care of the building, which is a designated Local Landmark Structure.
