Walk Through History: Thomas Chapel

Join the Thomas Chapel Board of Directors for an engaging discussion on the rich history and ongoing restoration of Thomas Chapel A.M.E. Zion Church. Located in Black Mountain, North Carolina, this historic African Methodist Episcopal church was built in 1922 by descendants of freed slaves. The church, with its weatherboard siding and striking Gothic Revival design, boasts a distinctive tall, pyramidal-roof bell tower. While it has always been known as “Thomas Chapel,” the church has roots dating back to its predecessor, “Tom’s Chapel,” constructed around 1892 by one of the original builders. Celebrated for its well-preserved Gothic Revival architecture, Thomas Chapel was proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009, highlighting its significant local heritage.
