Olive baptist church

The Olive Baptist Church (Colored) was formed in Lawrence, Massachusetts in 1871 to serve the textile city's small African American population, many of whom were recently freed slaves.[1] Rev. W.H. Garrett was its founding pastor. Five years after its founding, its membership was 43.[1]

A search of Google Maps indicates the congregation is no longer extant.[2]
