Mother Bethel, the first African Methodist Episcopal church and meeting place of the first Colored Convention, was founded by Rev. Richard Allen in 1816. The church has been rebuilt twice, progressing from a blacksmith’s shop to a free-standing building. It has been sitting on the same plot of land in Philadelphia since its charter, making it the longest continuously African American owned piece of land in the United States.
