NGS MY2556, an intersecting station, is the spire of the Congregational Church in Hampstead, NH. Due to the nature of this form of standard, the datasheets lack a comprehensive description. It was first observed by the CGS (NGS) in 1886. Maintenance and/or restoration work (roof shingles, flashing, etc) may have taken place over the course of the building's history, and 'absolute originality' of the spire is subject to debate, primarily concerning whether the topmost ornament was disturbed or not, but the overall structure is still original, and the measurements still hold. The horizontal coordinates are adjusted.
To reach the station from the junction of NH State Routes 111 and 121 in Hampstead, go north on NH 121 for about 1.4 mi to the station on the right. The station is the top of the spire on the Congregational Church building.
