Allen Chapel A.M.E. Church was organized in the 19th century in the dining room of Wright and Mary Brothers home on Crane Creek, facing the northwest of Lipscomb Street. The house is still standing. The organizers, in addition to the Brothers, were Robert and Carrie Lipscomb and Balam Allen and wife, all early pioneers of the Crane Creek area. The first church was erected on the north end of Lipscomb Street in 1885. At a later date the members saw the need for a new church and parsonage, and since there was not sufficient land for both, a new site was selected for the church and it was erected here in 1964. The bell was acquired in 1928. It is made of solid brass and weighs about 1,000 pounds. It was moved from the old church to the new church site by a crane.
