Built in 1912, the church was the third built for the Salem congregation, which formed in 1919. African-American stonemason Madison Banks and white contractor Samuel Marshall, both from Alton, built the church; they were assisted by two members of the congregation, John Walker and William Emery. The church served as a civic and social center for the local black community during the early 20th century, as African-Americans faced rampant segregation and discrimination in public spaces. The church hosted events such as picnics and dinners, hay rides, and fashion shows for its congregation. In addition, the congregation organized a Ladies Aid Society for its female members, which sponsored a college scholarship program, and a Progressive Club for its youth. The church's membership declined after the 1960s, a consequence of both integration and rural flight.[2] The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 31, 2013.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite web|title=Weekly List of Actions Taken on Properties: 12/30/13 Through 1/03/14|url=http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/listings/20140110.htm|work=National Register of Historic Places Program|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=March 1, 2014|date=January 10, 2014}} {{National Register of Historic Places}}2. ^{{cite web|last=Keenoy|first=Ruth|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: Salem Baptist Church|url=http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/feature/places/pdfs/13001004.pdf|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=March 3, 2014|author2=Charlotte Johnson |author3=Tom Raglin |author4=Renee Johnson |date=October 31, 2013}} 8 : Churches on the National Register of Historic Places in Illinois|National Register of Historic Places in Madison County, Illinois|Buildings and structures in Madison County, Illinois|Churches completed in 1912|Gothic Revival church buildings in Illinois|Baptist churches in Illinois|African-American churches|1919 establishments in Illinois |
