History of St. Mark A.M.E. Church of Topeka, Kansas
In 1880, Edward Dunlap began what became St. Mark African Methodist Episcopal Church. By the next year, a lot was procured on Railroad Street and a church built. In 1900 the Church had moved to its Norris and Harrison Streets location. Following the 1951 Kansas River flood, the Church closed until June, 1952; however, it took over 35 years to complete the rebuilding and many renovations.
