*Links:

The church Website may be difficult to navigate for some Web browsers.  A current photo of much of the front of the building is here.  A history page has an older photo of the entire front of the building.  But these bells are not mentioned anywhere.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Meneely (Troy) bellfoundry.

Ranking among all North American chimes by size (number of bells).
