The Second Methodist Church was
built in 1831 and dedicated in 1836 at 12 Franklin St. Changed name to Franklin Memorial
in 1931. At a meeting held in the home of William Murphy, at Longworth and High
Streets, in 1830 a committee was appointed to procure a suitable lot on which to erect a
church building and the Franklin Street site was purchased. After a gigantic raid on
the unlawful element in Newark in 1840 it was found impossible to accommodate all of the
city's lodgers in the Court House and the city officials gained permission to use the
basement of the church as a jail. In 1927 the Quarterly Conference voted to sell the
property and erect a Franklin Memorial Church at 134 Maple Ave.
