As the Cohocksink Methodist Episcopal Church grew in the mid-19th century, a new building was needed to fit the larger congregation. In the early 1880s, they erected a new stone church at the corner of 7th and Norris Streets, and in 1886 changed their name to the Seventh Street Methodist Episcopal Church.


The church changed its name to the Mid-Town Parish United Methodist Church in the 1950s, and in 2005 the building was declared unsafe and demolished.


A burial vault located in the yard adjoining the church was used to hold the remains of members that were being buried at other cemeteries such as North Cedar Hill, or when the ground was too frozen to open a grave. Many burials listed in obituaries and records as being made here were most likely intended to be nothing more than temporary, and most if not all final interments occurred elsewhere.
