Description
The
Seamen's
Friend
Society
was
organized
in the
late
1850s
to
administer
to the
many
seamen
that
came
to the
port
of
Wilmington
.
It
was a
place
where
the
mariners
,
during
long
periods
in
port
,
could
spend
the
night
away
from their
ships
. The
city
churches
provided
religious
services
every
Sunday
,
where
various
ministers
would
take
turns
as
preachers
. The
bethel
was
dedicated
on
November
30
,
1859
. The
ground
floor
was
rented
to
businesses
. The
Great
Atlantic
and
Pacific
Tea
Company
occupied
the
corner
store
,
well
into the
1940s
. A
fire
in the
building
caused
considerable
damage
and as a
result
it
was
razed
in
1958
.
