Save the spire
At the north end of the Village of Lowville sits a beautiful stone church with a soaring white spire.
The First Presbyterian Church holds an important place in the history of the village
and Lewis County.
As a symbol of that history this majestic building with its tall, white spire with three illuminated clock faces is a shining beacon of welcome to all who enter the village of Lowville. One truly knows they are home when they get a glimpse of that shining white torch in the sky. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve been gone for a few hours or a few years.
As with all buildings, as time passes their age begins to show.
Over the years the 12” x 12” hand-hewn wood beams, in the spire, have absorbed water from leaks and several are starting to rot. In an effort to keep the spire an integral part of our community it is now time to repair or replace the beams and shore up the spire to ensure it is watertight and will stand for many more years to come.
This is no small undertaking and will be an expensive project. The elders of the First Presbyterian Church are working to procure grants but these will not cover the entire cost of renovations.
The grant funds SAVE THE SPIRE will require matching funds and additional monies will be needed.
The cost of the renovation is estimated at $125,000.
The congregation of First Presbyterian Church is supporting the project but is also looking to partner with members of our community to help pay for the restoration.
Please consider making a monetary contribution to help save this historic landmark.
