The church Website opens with a photo of the church showing both towers.  Unfortunately the History page is not yet complete (as of Dec.2020).

A historic district page includes a paragraph about the building, whose two towers are not identical.

A vintage postcard depicts the building.

Pinterest photo of the towers

An old photo, taken before the belfries got their present louvering, hints strongly at their respective contents.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the J.C.Deagan Company.
