History

The Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church was erected 1892 for the Zion Evangelical Church congregation. The congregation used the church until 1949, [2] when they moved to a new church structure located on US Highway 131. [3] In 1951, the Petoskey Mennonite Church purchased the building; the congregation later changed its name to the Hilltop Mennonite Fellowship. The Mennonite congregation used the building until 2015, when the congregation closed. [4] The building was then purchased by Colleen and Michael Pattullo and now operates as the non-profit Chapel of Our Guardian Angels. [5] The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Petoskey rented space there for its meetings from 2016 to 2020. [6]

Description

The building has a front gable roof and a rectangular tower with a peaked polygonal cap. It has eight-pane rectangular windows with corniced heads set in to the side walls. A gabled entryway addition is at the rear of one side wall. [3]
