Workers Remove Two Tons Of Stonework From Top Of National Cathdral

If the National Cathedral looks a little off, that's because it's missing a pinnacle. Workers used a crane to remove two tons of stonework from the top of the cathedral's 330-foot central tower. The stone topper was damaged in the earthquake that hit Washington in August. In fact, all four pinnacles on the tower were damaged. All the broken parts must come down for repair and so the building can reopen. The Cathedral took 83 years to build and was completed in 1990. All of its stonework is hand-carved.
