Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church, National Register Historic Baptist church in Chicago, United States
Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church is a Neoclassical church building in Chicago, designed by architect Dankmar Adler and completed in 1899. The structure features columns, pediments, and balanced proportions throughout its facade and interior layout.
The church was built at the end of the 19th century to serve as a spiritual and social center for Chicago's African American community. It became a gathering place that helped shape neighborhood life during significant periods of urban growth.
