Union Springs Presbyterian Church Spire (CM2299) - Union Springs, AL - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

In 1943, the United States was deeply involved in World War II. Some 16 million served in uniform, but others remained to accomplish tasks such as surveying. I was not able to find much information on the building, but the spire is still there. It is located at the corner of Hardaway Avenue and Martin Luther King Boulevard.

The 1943 description from the datasheet reads:
