Mount Zion Baptist Church (Little Rock, Arkansas)

Mount Zion Baptist Church is a historic church at 900 Cross Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a buff brick structure with modest Prairie School features on its exterior, with a three-part facade articulated by brick pilasters, and a trio of entrances set in the center section above a raised basement. The interior of the church is extremely elaborate in its decoration, with a pressed-metal ceiling, elaborate central copper light fixture, and banks of stained glass windows. The church was built in 1926 for a predominantly African-American congregation founded in 1877.[2]
