Historic Significance
The Grant Chapel is eligible for historic landmark status under the National Register of Historic Places. The Grant Chapel was organized in Hannibal Square in 1906 as a member of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) churches (MacDowell: 59,88). The History of Winter Park states that the Grant Chapel congregation constructed a church
on West New England Avenue in 1935 at a cost of $4,000 (MacDowell:212). The existing building’s dedication plaque dedicates Grant Chapel Methodist Church on May 30, 1943. Reverend E. J. Sheppard was the Pastor. Hannibal Square is listed in the black Heritage Trail guidebook published by the Florida Department of State. Below is a
video of the chapel's relocation from its original grounds at 301 West New England Avenue to its new location on 216 West Lyman Avenue.
