Cherry Street AME Church was founded in the 1860s as The Colored Methodist Church and changed its name to Cherry Street AME in 1907. This mural not only depicts building the present church but it also depicts black people and businesses in the area at the turn of the century. The church was built by children and parishioners bringing bricks to the church each week and from those bricks, the church was constructed. The mural also depicts the first black business owner in downtown Dothan, Mr. Price, who opened a printing shop on St. Andrews Street in 1912.
