Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Zion Church
1070 59th Street near 11th Avenue
Brooklyn, N.Y. 11219
The Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Zion Church was organized as a congregation on February 23, 1897. On October 8, 1899, the cornerstone was laid for a new church on 59th Street near 11th Avenue that was dedicated on September 16, 1900. In 1931, a new Gothic-style church of brick with limestone trim was opened.
This building is now home to Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church, a congregation organized in 1956, where services are held in Cantonese, English, and Mandarin. |
