Ebenezer Baptist Church - Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site

Ebenezer Baptist Church is one of the best known churches in the country. Built in 1914 and located in the Sweet Auburn Historic District of Atlanta, it is best known for its legendary pastor, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Under commission of the National Park Service, Lord Aeck Sargent analyzed the condition of the building and identified appropriate preservation measures to restore the exterior and update all mechanical and fire protection systems.

The interior of the church is being restored to its 1968 appearance and the exterior is also being restored.
