From 1836 to 1838 he conducted services at Third Ward School on St. Clair Street. Two years later the congregation worshiped in an upper room on Superior between Seneca & Bank streets. In 1839 they moved to the Ross Block on the corner of Superior & Seneca streets. Their first building was erected at Erie (E.9th) & Hamilton where they met from August 1, 1841 until 1877 when they built a new one on Dodge (E.17th) & Superior Street which was sold in September 1967 and later razed. This church went through many splits and mergers. The last being in Wickliffe which became Fellowship United Church of Christ.The earlier records were there. If the ones you seek are not there , try the Western Reserve Historical Society. Allardt may have also preached at one of these churches: Evangelisch-Protestantische St. Pauls Gemeinde, and the Zweite Evangelisch-Reformierte Gemeinde..

Allardt conducted services for Germans at pioneer homes in Parma, Brighton (South Brooklyn), and Independence. Every third Sunday he preached at a schoolhouse at the southeast corner of Broadview and Schaaf roads.
