St. Mark's African Methodist Episcopal Church

St. Mark's African Methodist Episcopal Church is a historic African Methodist Episcopal (AME) church in Duluth, Minnesota, United States. St. Mark's has played a central role in Duluth's African-American community for more than 124 years. While other black organizations dissolved or moved to the Min

neapolis–Saint Paul area, St. Mark's remains a local mainstay. The lower level of the building was constructed in 1900 and the Gothic Revival upper level was completed in 1913. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 for its local significance in the themes of black ethnic heritage and social history. It was nominated for serving as a religious and social center for Duluth's African-American community, and for its status as the city's only historic building constructed by and for African Americans.
