Add PhotosThe Fifth Presbyterian Church was organized in 1813 and worshiped first in a chapel on Locust Street near Eighth, having Dr. Thomas H. Skinner as pastor. A church was built on the south side of Arch Street, above Tenth, to which it removed in 1823, and a burial ground was laid out contemporaneously at that site on the former Earp Family Burial Ground.
In 1850 the Fifth Church, which had joined the New School, was disbanded and the Arch Street Church, Old School, was organized as its successor and purchased its property. Rev. Charles Wadsworth, D.D., became its first pastor.
In 1901 the Arch Street Church consolidated with the West Arch Street congregation at Eighteenth and Arch. It retained its name and transferred to the new organization, as endowment, the proceeds of the sale of its property. The burial ground was sold for redevelopment and removed to Arlington Cemetery in Delaware County in 1903.
