Zion United Church of Christ, a landmark structure at Second and Iron street whose clock towers dominate the Lehighton landscape, currently stands veiled in scaffolding as workers renovate its masonry and fenestration.

The church, built in several phases a century ago, is likewise being renovated in several phases. Restoration of the side of the building facing Iron Street was completed a year and a half ago.The current renovation began in July and is anticipated to be completed by November. The final phase, to renovate the clock tower, has not been scheduled.
