Take a Little Off the Towers

The towers were lowered rather than being rebuilt around 1925. It did not become the Witch Museum until 1972. Interesting history of church here.

Lowered Towers

Probably lowered so the Witches wouldn't crash into them while flying their brooms.

Witch Museum

19 1/2 North Washington Square. I wonder why they lowered those towers?

Trunk scars

Anyone know what those scars around the tree trunks are from?

[They appear to be applications of an insect barrier like those seen in this photo and described in the comments. - tterrace]
