Episcopal Church

1848 -

St. Philip's Church (Colored) was started in 1848. The first services were held in the second story of a schoolhouse at the corner of Halsey and New Streets. Reverend James Tyng, principal of the Newark Academy, was the minister in charge. Most of the people in attendance were communicants at Old Trinity. Soon after the organization of the church it received from Senator William Wright, a member of Old Trinity, the gift of two lots on High Street, near New Street. A small brick edifice was built under the direction of Reverend Joshua Smith. In 1896 the building was enlarged. The church was destroyed by fire on December 20, 1964. The congregation merged with Trinity Episcopal Church in 1966.
