Mount Zion Lutheran Church in New Orleans was established in 1878 and is considered the oldest Black Lutheran church congregation in the United States. Though the church's home has evolved in response to manmade and natural interventions, the church still retains its original bell, and the current MZLC building is a well-preserved example of late midcentury modern architecture by local architect JC Frantz.
The congregation hired MKS to provide a conditions assessment report and recommendations for the ongoing care of this significant sacred place.
