St. Matthias Episcopal Church is a parish of the Episcopal Church. Founded in 1865 as the Freedmen's Church, St. Matthias believes itself to be the oldest African-American congregation in the city. This historic church, a one-story, cruciform plan brick building with Gothic Revival design influences, was built in 1894–1896. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Although the architect of the church is unknown, the contractor for the project was James Vester Miller. Miller, himself born into slavery, was one of the most well respected brick masons and contractors in Asheville of his time. Miller is also responsible for the construction of Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Asheville, the Asheville Municipal Building, and many other projects across the state.
