The church Website has a History page (under More in the main menu) but it has been revised to remove any mention of construction of the bell tower in 1893.  There is a Music page, but it likewise does not mention these bells.  The Discern page has an aerial photo of the entire church campus.

A newspaper article from The Paragraph (Mamaroneck NY, 4 Feb 1893, Sat p7) describes the gift of tubular bells and tower clock.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of its maker.
