Zion Hill Baptist Church

Zion Hill Baptist Church, which sits on the corner of Lanana and Bois d’arc streets, was built in 1914 by famed architect Diedrich Rulfs. The building was the home to one of the oldest African American Baptist congregations in Texas. The congregation was founded in 1878 by Reverend Lawson Reed and has occupied four different buildings during its life. Zion Hill is still undergoing an extensive interior restoration and is not open to the public at this time.
