Tremont Street Methodist Episcopal Church

[2] Prior to 1862, the Methodist Episcopal congregation had occupied the Hedding Church on Pelham Street in Boston for some 20 years.

[4] The society grew quickly across the country, and by 1876 included "eight associated branches" in New England; New York and New Jersey; Pennsylvania and Delaware; Maryland, District of Columbia, and Eastern Virginia; Ohio, Western Virginia and Kentucky; Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin; Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska and Colorado; and Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.

[1][7][8][9] The building changed owners in the 1960s, and the last congregation to worship there was the New Hope Baptist Church.

There were 11 windows placed in the sanctuary, each one of which was purchased by one of the then existing branches of the WFMS: New England, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Northwestern, Des Moines, Minneapolis, Topeka, Pacific, and Columbia River.

[13] There were also windows dedicated to former pastors, some of whom originated from other parts of the country than New England: Dr. Henry White Warren (later elected Bishop); Dr. William E. Huntington (later second President of Boston University), Dr. William Nast Brodbeck, Dr. henry L. Wriston, Dr. Leopold a. Nies, Dr. John D. Pickles, and Rev.
