Old Zion Lutheran Church - 1868
This is the church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where C. F. Holst and Jeannette de Chabert were married on 27 July 1833.
In 1766 congregation purchased a lot on the southeast corner of Cherry and Fourth Streets. In 1766 the cornerstone was laid, and on June 25th, 1769, the building was consecrated as Zion Church. It is from this church that our current name "Old Zion" delineates.
This church also had its fair share of early history. It was made a hospital during the Revolutionary War. In 1790, a Great Organ, built by the famous organ maker Tannenberg was installed; at that time, this was the largest, and some accounts say finest, organ in America. In 1794 the interior of the original building was gutted by a fire; all was reconstructed and restored by 1796. It was here in 1791 that the memorial services for Benjamin Franklin were held, and in 1799 that the memorial service for General George Washington was held. In 1817 a celebration of the 3rd Centennial Celebration of the Reformation was held in Zion, a host to the Synod, Pastors, and Congregations from across the Philadelphia Region. The original Zion Church was torn town in 1869, and the congregation removed to a new building on Franklin Square where it remains today at 628 N. Broad Street in Philadelphia.
