Boston. Bromfield Street Methodist Episcopal Church. [CH-MA B6 B7]
Bromfield was founded in 1806 as a branch of the Methodist Alley (First) church, and was linked to the First church until 1831, when the appointment became listed as Boston South. Black congregants were given their own local pastor (Samuel Snowden) in 1818, and their own church on May Street in 1823, under the sponsorship of Bromfield, who built a larger facility on Revere Street in 1835 for the black congregation. Revere Street was sold in 1903, and Bromfield itself was sold in 1911, when it merged with Tremont Street to form Bromfield-Tremont.
