Building
The neo-Gothic structure was built in 1888 as the Deutsche Evangelische Kirche von Yorkville. The building became Zion Lutheran Church in 1892, when that congregation was founded. It is now Zion-St. Mark's Church.[4] The German-speaking congregation grew rapidly with the influx of mass immigration from Germany to the United States at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. The congregation merged with St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church of New York City in 1946.[5] The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[6]
