The church on Dutch hill that was Lutheran Reformed split 4 ways. The two St. Johns, Zion and Trinity. The last one to go which is the St John's on the corner of Pine and E. Mauch Chunk took the bricks from the original church and built the present chruch at the turn of the 20th century. There is a church that is at the address that you gave the Episcopal Church on Broad but it is not listed in the phone book.
