[MassHistPres] Slate Roof Substitution Materials

[Dennis De Witt]

Looking it up on line, it is now listed as Trinity Church and said to be “Closed”.  Is that correct?  

A significant part of the nave and choir roofs are visible from a 2022 street view image.  If that is representative of the building as a whole, the roof appears to be in reasonable condition and replacing it seems questionable.  If that has been suggested, a second opinion should be sought.  The ridge flashing on the choir does look like it needs some attention.
