final procedures to effect
the release of funds will
begin.
Research on the old Zion
Church, now called ‘‘Union
Meeting House’’, revealed
that the original door was
on the south side of the
brick structure and that a
gallery and bell tower were
added at a later date. With
these additions removed
the structure would appear
similar to the sketch.
The Marietta Restoration
Associates hope to lease
the building from Marietta
Boro Council and proceed
with a restoration project.
Monies received from fed-
eral and state government
would be used to improve
the grave stones (which
have detiorated since 1857,
when additional burials
were terminated by boro
officials), restore sagging
walls, and for interior
preservations.
