Zion Church

Thursday, July 29, 2010
 

The present church building, a structure of exceptional beauty and harmony of form, was constructed in 1850.  It's architect was Richard Upjohn, the foremost church architect of the mid-19th Century. Its style is known as neo-gothic. It is the oldest church building in the City of Rome, and its greatest architectural treasure. The church was enlarged in 1866-1867 after the Civil War and the parish hall was added in 1885 by Upjohn's son and grandson, respectively.
