The Mount Zion Church was a historic church building near Big Sandy, Tennessee. It was a hewn log structure built in either 1812[2] or 1845[1] and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It was removed from the National Register in 2012.[1]
This building, which is still standing,[2] might be confused with the extant Mt. Zion Church and Cemetery located approximately twenty miles north in Henry County, Tennessee.
History
The church building was a hewn log structure, approximately 18 feet (5.5 m) by 24 feet (7.3 m).[2] It was built to house a Baptist congregation organized by B. S. Browning. The date of its completion has been given as either 1812, as suggested by a photo of the sign on the building,[3] or as 1845 as listed in the National Register of Historic Places database.[1] The builders were Joe Arnold, Eligh Hollaman, James Garner and another unknown person.[3]
It was destroyed by fire in the early 1990s.[2]
