BACK to Church Steeples
First Presbyterian Church
Greenwich, Connecticut
Traditional Steeple (101' tall x 20' wide) features Decorative Scrolls, Corincies, Columns & Louvers.
This elegant steeple was designd by the architectural firm of Mark B. Thompson Associates, LLC of Philadelphia, PA. The contractor was A. Papa John Company of Stamford, CT. The custom steeple was fabricated with a 36' internal structural steel tube framework engineered by Campbellsville Industries to meet current building code requirements, with a secondary structural and architectural aluminum framework. The exterior cladding is fabricatd by Campbellsville artisans using .032" aluminum, with a baked-on Kynar finish.
The steeple was fabricated in Campbellsville's modern plant in Campbellsville, KY. It was then transproted to the church on custom designed trailers. The two lower sections were assembled on the ground, hoisted into postion and stacked one on the other. The spire was set on top and the cross installed by the crew from a man bucket.
The steeple houses a Chime Master Systems Millennium carillon for the ringiing of bells and beautiful hymns throughout the year.
