The Restoration
Our Critical Work
In 2010, thanks to the donations of many members of the community and grants from not-for-profit organizations, the Friends of St. Peter’s embarked upon the exterior restoration of St. Peter’s Presbyterian Church in Spencertown.
The work accomplished to date by the Friends of St. Peters includes repairs to the foundation, sills and structural framework of the venerable building, the rebuilding of the severely deteriorated steeple and the duplication of the church’s finial and weathervane. In addition, the historic bell’s supporting mechanism was replaced and the church’s exterior wooden detailing and clapboards were repaired and received a new coat of paint.
The ongoing maintenance of this historic structure requires financial support.
While many major projects have been accomplished, the impacts of time and use will require future efforts. The Friends’ funds have been reduced by the most recent painting project, so additional fundraising is required before any new efforts are undertaken.
