Faith Congregational Church (Talcott Street Congregational)
In 1819, Hartford's African Americans, rejecting being seated in the galleries of white churches, began to worship by themselves in the conference room of the First Church of Christ. Later established as the African Religious Society, the group built a church at 30 Talcott Street in 1826 and soon became associated with the Congregational denomination. By 1860, it was known as Talcott Street Congregational Church. In 1840, the church opened one of only two district schools in the city where African American children could study free of harassment by white students and teachers. Hartford poet Ann Plato and photographer Augustus Washington were among the teachers at the church's school. Also associated with it were the Reverends Amos Beman and James W. C. Pennington, two of the most prominent African American leaders in the United States. On November 19, 1953, Talcott Street Congregational Church merged with Mother Bethel Methodist Church to become the present Faith Congregational Church. The building at 2030 Main Street was purchased and renovated, with the dedication taking place on June 13, 1954. The church is on the National Register of Historic Places.
