I have an old photograph of a building (place of business) in Hungary, which has this word on it. Is this simply translated as "church gilding" -- perhaps one of the services they provided?

Yes, this is what it means. It seems church gilding (church gilder, "templomi aranyozó") used to be a service/profession. See:
