In 1888, when the Colonial Revival was becoming popular, a number of these changes were in effect reversed, restoring a more Colonial-style steeple. 911: 993: 443: 888: 100: 75: 998: 244: 526: 834: 829: 824: 457: 1074: 522: 502: 497: 492: 462: 283: 512: 482: 384: 1064: 517: 507: 487: 467: 856: 477: 472: 861: 809: 689: 643: 576: 739: 714: 674: 602: 571: 550: 819: 755: 724: 679: 664: 659: 1079: 814: 719: 709: 612: 729: 704: 694: 669: 622: 607: 597: 581: 555: 765: 760: 734: 699: 684: 627: 617: 377: 791: 786: 891: 393: 370: 1054: 781: 67: 977: 1069: 866: 134: 1035: 432: 422: 92: 241:.
