Cathedral of Guadalupe, Dallas, TexasSteeple with Copper Shingles and Crockets Campbellsville Industries Is Making History.....Today! The Cathedral of Guadalupe is like many churches, in that it was originally designed for two graceful steeples, but they were never added during the original construction. This happens due to construction costs, strained budgets, a lack of craftsman, etc. Campbellsville Industries worked closely with the architect, Architexas, and the prime contractor, Andres Construction Services (both of Dallas), to replicate this one of two ornate copper spires to be added to the vacant masonry towers—finally achieving the architect's original design and intent to this historic church. The steeple is 56'-6" tall, plus 11'-2" gold leafed cross, with a base 14'-7 3/4" wide. The unique tear-dropped-shaped copper shingles are an exclusive architectural feature by Campbellsville, that include copper crockets at the hips and a decorative copper cap at the base of the steeple.
