The church Website has 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.  There is no mention of this chime.

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

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