FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
"Saving History" - Stained Glass Restoration

Stained glass artist Bob Zakas and Alayna Kyle were commissioned by developer Ken Crisp to totally restore all the stained glass in the First Congregational Church in Chattanooga. The Lyndhurst Foundation along with the River City Company and Cornerstones provided financing for the project. The church located at the corner of M.L. King Boulevard and Lindsay Street in Chattanooga, Tennessee is under way to apply for a National Historic Register designation.

First Congregational Church is one of Chattanooga's oldest black churches. As part of its history, services began in the church in the early 1900s. There are approximately 6,500 individual pieces of glass in the windows. Mr. Zakas and partner Alayna Kyle cleaned and refit the panes of glass into original wood window frames. Read More»»

Replacing broken glass during the restoration process
Old English Cabinet Window A classic English design; a pair of these windows had no broken glass but the lead came had all but disintegrated over the years. They are now like new!	Restored Cabinet Window Not as old as the rest but two of the blue panels were replaced; again a good color match to the original glass.
Restored Foyer Window This beautiful antique window was used in new construction without a protective layer of plate glass to the outside. It was damaged by a baseball. It was restored and reinstalled with a 3/16" layer of plate glass to the outside.	Stained Glass Panel The original design of this old window has been altered at the request of the client in order to create a window twice the original size.
