old BLUE Church OF
ANNAPOLIS METHODIST

One Of the items in the official pro-
gramme of the recent celebration in
this city of the 135th anniversary of
the establishment OF Methodism in An
napolis was that of the "Old Blue
Church" The caption to this event
closed with question mark. II would
be an unfortunate historic lapse if the
scions Of Annapolis Methodists sires
should let the annals of the old Blue
Church OF Annapolis Methodism fade
from their memories. Its history eX-
lists in the chronicles of the city and
ought to be known and revered by all
loyal Methodists.
This churca stood on the ground of
the State Of Maryland within tho pres
ent State Circle, and stood al the head
of Maryland avenue. II was frame
building, and known as "the Old Blue
Church." because Of its color and its
use. II had a stairway on the outside
up which the colored people went 70
the gallery set apart for them After
it ceased to be q church. it was used
as a schoolhouse
The church belonged to the State
and had been an armory Its founda-
ton could be seen still until the mid
Gle of the last century My interest
in this old building i-a seen lately en-
larged By an article placed in my
hands by Mr. Richard J. Duvall,> OF
this city. This sketch is fonnd in the
Maryland Historical Magazine of Sep
TENDER. 1919, in a paper giving eX-
tracts from letters written by Mrs Re
becca Key. who was born in Anna
polls in 1854 She wrote:
THE ArmOry stood at tie north side
at an equal distance from the Court
House, a large hall, the walls covered
with arms above the seats, which We're
all around the room. A seat opposite
Tie door for the Governor and his lady

of Queen Anne. Nearly opposite TO

pended from the vaulted roof and
lights intersperse1 among the arms,
gave it Oh ball nights yery splendid
appearance Three other apartments
were appropriated; one to the card
parties. one to the supper, and the
other tc the armc1y The armory was
also used as a Council Chamber when
the Assembly sat
Annapolis Methodism was organized
in 1856 and, il is probable, from its
historic surroundings, that this build
ing was used as "a place of worship
from 1856 to 1920, when the first
church of the Methodists in this city
was built on the site of the present
