Some explanation is needed. Churches in boldface are either listed on the National Register or are otherwise of special interest. If the name of the church is in brackets [ ] I am in doubt as to the founding congregation. The Sect is the original religious denomination when the church was built. Fields left blank are those for which I have no solid information. For buildings that have "changed hands," the following links will take you to the page of the denomination which built the church: Homestead, Simpson ME, Friendship Baptist, Greenwood AME, Grace Church, Grant Chapel AME, Parraquia Christo Rey, Iglesia Christiana Domasca
