Excerpt: For the first time in its 115-year history, First Presbyterian Church of Warren has a cross atop its steeple.

With the help of a 135-foot crane, the 24-karat gold-leafed copper cross was hoisted to the top of the church at the corner of Market Street and Third Avenue on Tuesday morning as members of the congregation watched. The work was done by Erie restoration company Fiske and Sons Inc., which has placed crosses on more than 100 church steeples.

Clarence Bauer, properties manager for the church, was happy to see crews finish work on the church, which he says first opened in 1895. But since its opening more than a century ago, one symbol has been missing from the top of the roof.

"We just thought it was time to put a cross up there," Bauer said.
