History
The Carondelet AME Church, which had been founded in 1845, bought the North Public Market in 1880 from the city of St. Louis and converted it for use as a church. The market, built in 1869 by the then city of Carondolet, had passed to the city of St. Louis in 1870 when it annexed Carondolet. In 1882 the church's name was changed to Quinn Chapel in memory of William Paul Quinn, the fourth bishop of the AME Church.
Current use
Quinn Chapel is still an active AME Church. Its current pastor is the Rev. Lori K. Beason.
