The Mount Zion African Methodist Church was formed in 1881 by a minister and two communicants. As it grew, members met in a local blacksmith shop until the church was completed in 1902.
The building is in the American Vernacular Style, influenced by American Gothic. The church has a shingled exterior, a pair of lancet windows in the facade and four narrow windows with triangular tops on each side.
