Built between 1958 and 1963 in Sacramento, California, Shiloh Baptist Church stands as a mid-century modern landmark designed by James C. Dodd, Sacramento's first African-American licensed architect. Constructed largely through the efforts of Reverend Willie P. Cooke and the congregation itself, the church became a vital community focal point for Sacramento's Oak Park neighborhood. The building's significance earned it listing on the National Register of Historic Places, reflecting both its architectural innovation and its role in African-American religious and social life.
