The wooden steeple and bell were removed from the Tisbury town hall on Saturday.

Amid mounting concerns about its structural integrity, the historic steeple that stands above the Tisbury town hall will be removed. Town facilities manager Kirk Metell said the project is expected to begin Dec. 1.

The steeple on the Tisbury town hall is structurally compromised and in possible danger of collapse, town officials confirmed this week.

The Tisbury town hall will be closed next week and a portion of Spring street in Vineyard Haven will be closed on Friday as contractors continue painting work on the building.

The Tisbury Town hall offices at 51 Spring street will relocate for the day on Friday, June 15 to complete work on a town hall restoration project.

The tax collector will be available Friday at the town hall annex at 66 High Point Lane. The town clerk will be available at the public works office at 115 High Point Lane. The selectmen's office will sell permits at the council on aging at 34 Pine Tree Road.

Town hall offices will reopen at 51 Spring street on Monday.
