Inscription. Originally built by Our Redeemer Lutheran Evangelical Church, this Colonial Revival- style chapel was constructed in 1932 and was the first church located in one of Jackson's earliest subdivisions. In the 1960s, a new church was built adjacent to the original chapel. In 1975, the property was sold to the Greater Mt. Calvary Missionary Baptist Church, which was formerly located on Lynch Street. The chapel is a designated Mississippi Landmark and a City of Jackson historic landmark.
