As general contractor of the restoration and steeple, Hightower not only oversaw the project, but also fabricated the new steeple in-house. The Restoration included replacement and refurbishing of the exterior brownstone, repointing, painting and systems. The new steeple addition consisted of structural steel, ornate copper work, architectural precast concrete and fiberglass composite. The steeple design was unique therefore fluid communication between the architect and builder was critical. Primarily for this reason, Hightower's Design Team and Construction Crew took on the challenge to ensure final quality.
