Further researchScope and Content
The Zion-Olivet Presbyterian Church is a single-story, mid-century modern building constructed in 1964 by the prominent African-American contracting firm, the H.A. DeCosta Company. Constructed on a parcel on the north side of Cannon Street in the Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood of downtown Charleston, the red brick building consists of two sections: the Sanctuary and the Sunday School Building. Both sections are connected and were constructed at the same time. From 1964 to 2015, the church served the needs of the Zion-Olivet congregation before the congregation moved to a new facility out of the city. While the neighborhood’s character has changed somewhat, the church’s exterior and principal interior spaces are intact. (Nat'l Reg. Part I Certification Application.)
