EATON — The Little White Church of Eaton's steeple restoration project is one of seven projects to be honored at the N.H. Preservation Alliance’s annual awards on Wednesday.
In honoring the Community Church of Eaton for the Steeple Restoration of the 1879 Little White Church, the Concord-based organization noted that “a small-scale repair turned into a successful $195,000-plus steeple project for the leaders of the much-photographed non-denominational church.
