Profiles

The Zion Lutheran Church is a church located in downtown Portland, Oregon, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Master architect Pietro Belluschi employed a number of innovations in this 1950 church, a pioneering example of the application of modern architectural principles to a religious building. Using local materials, influences, and artists and craftsmen, it represents the Northwest Regional style of modern architecture, which Belluschi (along with colleague John Yeon) originated and developed.
