Our church was built by Dutch builder Dan Umbenhour in 1848. Our pastor has been researching what looks to be a pineapple on top of an onion shaped dome on our belfry. I would like any info that anyone might have on anything similar to this or what the meanings may be. Our pastor said that the pineapple is a symbol for “welcome”. The Church is the LaFayette United Methodist Church in LaFayette,Kentucky42254. Please email me anything that may be useful as we are having our 160th anniversary of the building next year. thanks, Elwood Pryor
