The placement of the steeple does not look right to me. I think they needed a bigger or higher platform underneath for it to sit on. Maybe because  the building is so big now.

Steeples were built on bell towers, it would take a very tiny person to ring a bell in this one. It is wonderful to see the market again and now it looks complete.

This is less of a steeple and more of a cupola built to look like a steeple--Pierre's way of giving the community back its icon, since rebuilding an old church to house a store wasn't possible, he did the next best modern thing. The reality is he could have chosen not to rebuid here or changed the name entirely.  "Steeple Market"  was once  a name of opportunity, now it's one of design. I was there yesterday NECN from Boston was there also, Pierre said it would be abbout a month before the store reopens. It will be nice to have it back with its "full line grocery!"
