Photograph of the Saint Luke's A.M.E. Church cornerstone, in a triangle created by the intersections of the corner of 43rd Street, Archibald Avenue and Roanoke Streets in the early 1980s. The stone records the date of the church's construction as 1882. The church was established for freed slaves in Kansas City's Steptoe neighborhood after the Civil War, and the parsonage at the rear of the property was added in 1891. The buildings were razed in July 2003 due to deterioration and the widening of 43rd Street. Prior to that, the church was the oldest church in Westport.
