The Tenth Presbyterian Church grew out of the Sixth Presbyterian Church, being organized in its session room in March, 1829. It was located on the northeast corner of Twelfth and Walnut Streets and there remained until merged (retaining its name) with its daughter, the West Spruce Street Church, at the corner of Seventeenth and Spruce in 1895.

 

The church's burial ground at 17th and Cherry Streets had been established by what became the Seventh Presbyterian Church in 1808, and was sold to the Tenth Presbyterian Church in 1832. The bodies in this cemetery were removed in May, 1849 to the Woodlands Cemetery, Section C, Lots 498-500. The former burial ground was subsequently sold for redevelopment 1851.
