There was much discussion over the design of First Baptist Church's tower. Walker and Weeks provided nearly 15 designs, but each was rejected by the church's Committee on Architecture. When a design was finally submitted that met their approval, they were quickly advised that the tower would cost about $50,000 more. Dr. Swasey, chairman of the committee, responded: "Increase my pledge by $50,000." | Source: Shaker Historical SocietyDownload Original File
