The WYNN MEMORIAL BAPTIST CHAPEL was dedicated on February 23, 1890.  It was named after the much-loved Rev. Isaac Caldwell Wynn, who had died on April 20, 1889. Rev. Wynn had led the congregation of the First Baptist Church for 19 years. The chapel is on the south side of Spruce Street, in the 700 block, opposite 767 and 769 Spruce Street. 

The Wynn Memorial Chapel's cornerstone was laid in September of 1899. On November 15, 1899 Wynn Memorial Baptist Church organized itself, however as a church the congregation does net seem to have lasted into the 1920s. The Chapel is not listed under its own name in the 1920 Camden City Directory, and who was using it and what for is not clear as of this writing.
