The multi-year project to preserve the Meetinghouse at First Parish Church in East Derry wins its second NH state LCHIP grant: $59,000 towards Roof System Rehabilitation.
FPC lowered the unsafe Meetinghouse Tower Top to the ground in September, where it provided an impressive view at the top of East Derry hill through the holidays. Now it is being dissembled and transported to keep it safer from the weather as it undergoes two years of repairs and restoration.
Some details on the Sept. 9th Tower Takedown, with photos from the site on Sept. 1st and 2nd.
The Tower Top Takedown is Sept. 9, 10:00am–12:00 noon. Major rehab efforts on the FPC Meetinghouse get started in late August, 2015, with the takedown of the damaged top part of the tower.
