NOTES
Additional Information:2023: Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church is a Gothic Revival style church. It has a rectilinear footprint consisting of the original church and a 1995 addition. The church is of brick construction and rests on a raised stone foundation. It is front-gabled and has a roughly cruciform plan created by intersecting center gables. The main entrance is centrally located on the façade under a Gothic-arched, stone opening that is contained within a louvered belltower topped with an octagonal steeple that terminates with a cross. The north and south (side) elevations are organized into five bays separated by buttresses. The center bays have side-gabled roofs and contain large, multi-part, pointed, Gothic-arch windows. Additional fenestration includes tall, pointed, Gothic-arch, stained-glass windows accented with brick arches and stone sills. The modern addition (Figure 8) extends from the west (rear) elevation and mimics the design of the original church; it is rectilinear, topped by a rear-facing gable roof, and has intersecting center gables. The west elevation contains a secondary entrance that leads to the church’s parking lot.
