Today: The Blessing of the Brownstone Filials

This morning, Wednesday, November 19th at
10:45am, the  Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church (Lafayette Avenue and South Oxford
Street in Brooklyn) will mark the completion of its bell tower restoration.


As part of this, four ornate brownstone finials will be blessed by the pastor, Reverend
David Dyson, and then hoisted up 90’ to sit on
top of the rebuilt pinnacles of the tower.  This event celebrates the culmination
of a two-year effort to restore the brownstone tower which stands at the corner
of South Oxford Street and Lafayette Avenue in historic Fort Greene.
