Newspaper Articles November 12, 1905 - Cling to the Old Church Black leaders who were unhappy with being permitted to worship instead of being invited to worship broke away from the First Presbyterian church and formed their own Presbyterian mission. Theodore Frelinghuysen donated a lot on Plane Street and persuaded a number of prominent citizens to help erect the new church. It was dedicated on May 7, 1835 at 132 Plane Street. An enlargement was completed in 1852. In 1910 the congregation moved to the church at Thirteenth Avenue and Boston Street. This church was the former home of the Wicliffe Presbyterian Church. The third Reverend of the church, Elymas Payson Rogers, went on to missionary work in Africa, where he died of fever in 1861.
