Historic Steeple Renovation
Building Note:
This steeple was originally built in 1866. In 2001, the church contracted with RD Herbert to restore the structure using new flat lock copper roofing while maintaining its historical integrity. Our sheet metal shop reconstructed the detail banding running around the steeple. Rising 190 feet into the air this structure stands out on the Nashville skyline.
Detail:
The ornate stainless steel cross was fabricated by our custom sheet metal shop and installed along with the 42" diameter copper ball at the end of restoration.
