Came across St. Mark Evangelical Lutheran Church yesterday and found that the steeple was accessible. The minister was in the main hall giving a sermon to a small camera crew, so we climbed up 4 flights of stairs and made it through the huge amount of pigeon poo to the bell room. There were a few more levels in the steeple above the bell room (the one just above the bell room housed the clock), but it was coming up to the hour mark, and being a Sunday, I didn't want to get caught up there if the bells starting marking the hour.) St. Mark was founded in 1868, construction on the church began in 1890 and it was completed in 1892. When the church opened it was a German congregation and was called "Deutsche Evangelisch-Lutherische St. Markus Kirche". The bells were cast and installed by Henry Stuckstede Bell Foundry Co. of St.Louis between 1885 and 1892. There are 16 bells in all. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20.
