For historical purposes, I also list these churches which have closed:

  • East Montgomery (E. Montgomery & Frankford) is a private residence and art space
  • Siloam (1333 Susquehanna) is a photography studio & living spaces
  • Emmanuel (York & Sepviva) was where Hackett School is now
  • East Baptist became the Woolston Center of the Preschool Project (former pastor C. Herbert Woolston wrote "Jesus Loves the Little Children) which is now also closed.
  • Emmanuel & Good Shepherd Episcopal at Cumberland & Collins

Dan, if you want the correct location for Good Shepherd it stands at Collins & Cumberland Street.

It was a really neat building with lots of rooms, I went to Girl Scouts there for many years. The pastor, I can't remember his name, was a very sweet older man.

There is a Church on my block, the 1200 Block of Marlborough, now a private home, but I do not know what it used to be called. Anyone know?
