Description

Photograph of the Saint Luke's A.M.E. Church, in a triangle created by the intersections of the corner of 43rd Street, Archibald Avenue and Roanoke Streets in the early 1980s. The church, established for freed slaves in Kansas City's Steptoe neighborhood after the Civil War, constructed the church building in 1882 and the parsonage at the rear of the property in 1891. It was razed in July 2003 due to building deterioration and the widening of 43rd Street. Prior to that, the church was the oldest church in Westport.
