Saint Cyprian's Episcopal Church--Detroit MI

            Saint Cyprian's was established as the first Episcopal parish for African-Americans on the West Side of Detroit. As the city's black community grew in the post-WW One era, African-Americans asked permission to have their children attend Sunday School at a nearby West Side parish (to avoid a long cross-town trip to the city's other African American Episcopal parish, Saint Matthew's). 

When they attempted to enroll at a white Episcopal parish, the children were refused entrance. In 1919, Saint Cyprian's was established as a mission to the West Side black community. Continued growth led to this building being dedicated in 1938. It is similar in design to Emmanuel Episcopal on John R and Greendale in Detroit. One of Emmanuel's architects, Lancelot Sukert, designed St. Cyprian's. In 1940 Saint Cyprian's became a full-fledged parish.

The church is also a City of Detroit Historic District.
