Founding members of Quinn Chapel started meeting in their homes in 1870 with an itinerant minister. In 1871, Rev. G. W. Gaines officially organized the church. The first church of the congregation was built in 1889 between 10th and 11th on E Street. It was 2.5 stories tall with a 60 foot tall spire. In 1899, the congregation lost that building and moved into a renovated two-story apartment building at 1026 F Street. In 1905, the congregation constructed a new building on F Street.
