Mt. Zion Methodist Church

This simple, circa-1095 Gothic Revival church features a cross-gable plan in the main, original portion of the church. The front-facing gable ends with a parapet gable topped with a small cupola. The cupola features an arched opening and a pyramidal roof with dentils and a simple decorative cross on the peak. This parapet gable end is flanked by two square towers, which rise just above the eave of the roof. The towers, in turn, are topped with smaller, octagon-shaped towers, supported by buttresses. the towers feature tall, narrow, arched windows with multiple, small glass panes. There are decorative garlands just below the cornice line of the conical slate roofs, which have decorative stained glass. Today, the church is owned by the Landmark Baptist Chapel and its services are held there.
