The Daniel Tompkins Memorial Chapel on the Masonic Care Community campus in Utica is undergoing a facelift.

The steeple was removed from the 114-year old structure today.

Kathy Contino-Turner, Director of Communications and Marketing at the Masonic Care Community, says it was determined that the steeple had some real problems and it needed to be replaced.

The steeple was removed with a large crane and a temporary top was placed on the building. A new steeple is being built in Kentucky and will be here in the next few weeks.
