The church Website has a large photo of the building on the home page, but it is mostly hidden behind scrollable features so that only a small amount can be seen at a time.  A smaller but more completely viewable photo is on the About page. But the bells are not mentioned anywhere. Once there was an old photo of the building on the History page; the body of the building has since been extended past (and around) the tower to the edge of the sidewalk.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the McShane bellfoundry.
