TEXT from the National Register of Historic Places Registration Form-Page 10.
A small but important simple brick church stands at 1330 Carroll Street, southwest of Carey. In 1900 the Trustees of Mount Olive A.M.E. church received the deed to two lots on the northwest side of Carroll Street. They built a two-story, three-bay-wide brick church. The end gable faces Carroll Street and the building runs back to the west four bays. The windows are regular 1/1 double-hung sash with triangular transoms decorated with diagonal wood struts. The doorway is located in the northernmost bay and also has a triangular transom. The wide central window on the second floor of the façade is divided by wooden struts. A belt course made up of square terra cotta tiles runs across the façade. The peak of the gable roof above the entrance façade is crowned with an open-sided steeple, a structure composed of four turned posts supporting a hipped roof cap.
