Add PhotosThe Sixth Presbyterian Church was organized in 1814 by members from the Third Presbyterian Church in Independence Hall (the Old State House). The congregation built a fine brick church on the north side of Spruce Street, below Sixth, where for nearly sixty years it exerted a potent influence on the life of the city. Two of its noted pastors were Dr. William Neill and Dr. Joseph H. Jones.
In 1816, the church established a burial ground on the north side of Christian Street between Third and Fourth streets, extending north to Queen Street, on a lot of land purchased from Robert and Jane McMullin. In April, 1851, interments from the ground were removed to Section I of the Woodlands Cemetery.
In 1873, the Sixth Church united with the Seventh Presbyterian Church, located at the southeast corner of Broad Street and Penn Square, to form the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church.
