Trinity A.M.E. Church


Trinity A.M.E. Church is a historic African [Methodist Episcopal Church] building at 239 E. 600 South in Salt [Lake City, Utah].
The Trinity A.M.E. Church was Utah's first black congregation, started in the 1880s. After years of meeting in homes and rented buildings, and one unsuccessful attempt to build a church, the congregation was able to buy this property in 1907 with money donated by Mary Bright, a cook who had made her fortune in Leadville, Colorado. The building was built in 1909 and added to the National [Register of Historic Places] in 1976.
