Bethany Church Tower

This is Bethany Church's tower. This building and its 120 foot tower was built in 1927 in a Gothic style. The cornerstone was laid that September at a ceremony attended by acting mayor Thomas S. Burgin. I particularly like the large gargoyles, which have been said to be 4 feet long, cast in concrete and the longest in New England.. The church was built with Quincy granite and trimmed with limestone.

In July 2000, one of the gargoyles was struck by lightning and crashed through the roof of the parish house, causing significant damage. No one was hurt.
