Designed and built by Jacksonville's first black architect Richard L. Brown, this 1922 church reflects his eclectic style.

Built of concrete block, textured on the upper stories to simulate quarry stone, the church includes a large portico at the main sanctuary entrance. A. L. Lewis, one of the Afro-American Life Insurance Company founders, served for over 50 years as Sunday School Superintendent of Mount Olive AME Church.
