The Whitlash Presbyterian Church building was completed in 1951. The steeple, visible in this photo, was added in 1973. The steeple was built by the late Edgar Woods. The addition was in honor of William and Mary Schafer, longtime ranchers in the Sweet Grass Hills and active members of the church. The Schafer's adult daughters, at the time of the steeple addition, both lived in the Seattle area and acquired a ship's bell for the church's steeple.
