Asylum Avenue Baptist Church was formally organized.

The church initially had 87 members.

  • 58 had been members at First Baptist Church
  • 18 had been members at South Baptist Church
  • 11 came from other churches

The source for this date is an article about the 1931 fire at the church, which included a brief history of the church to date at its present location.

The church held its first Sunday service in its new building on October 20, 1871.
