The twin steeples were added during the 1890s when the entire interior was remodeled and renovated, galleries removed and side chapels erected and a 10-bell chime installed. St. John’s parish, formed in 1819, is the oldest Roman Catholic parish west of Albany. The original black and white photo was digitally colorized by Carl Saporito of the Oneida County Historical Society (available for sale at the OCHS).
