Its impressive architecture features three towers adorned with ornamental sheet-metal finials and a multitude of Art Glass windows. The church's cornerstone bears the inscription "Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Rebuilt 1919, Reverend J.R. Nelson, Pastor," reflecting its enduring importance to the community.
