The Third Steeple

In October 1955, the third steeple, topped by Shem Drowne's weathervane, was hoisted into place and secured with steel reinforcements. This steeple was a deliberate replica of the original, consciously recalling the colonial identity and prominence of the structure. Old North's steeple has become a visual evocation of the nation's values, struggles, and transformation.
